- Taxonomy Description
- An anesthesiologist is trained to provide pain relief and maintenance, or restoration, of a stable condition during and immediately following an operation or an obstetric or diagnostic procedure. The anesthesiologist assesses the risk of the patient undergoing surgery and optimizes the patient's condition prior to, during and after surgery. In addition to these management responsibilities, the anesthesiologist provides medical management and consultation in pain management and critical care medicine. Anesthesiologists diagnose and treat acute, long-standing and cancer pain problems; diagnose and treat patients with critical illnesses or severe injuries; direct resuscitation in the care of patients with cardiac or respiratory emergencies, including the need for artificial ventilation; and supervise post-anesthesia recovery.

NPI NPI Number Validation
How NPI Validation Works
The NPI validation process uses the ISO-standard Luhn algorithm, a mathematical "handshake", to ensure that a provider's 10-digit ID is authentic and free of common typing errors.
To verify the NPI 1629073218, we treat the final digit (8) as the Check Digit—the target answer we need to reach. The process begins by taking the first nine digits and adding a constant value of 24, which accounts for the "80840" prefix required for all U.S. health identifiers. We then double every other digit starting from the right and sum the individual digits of those results together. For this specific NPI, that total comes to 62. The final step is to find the difference between that total and the next multiple of ten (70 - 62 = 8).
Digit-by-digit view
Use the first nine digits for the calculation. Starting from the right, double every other digit. The last digit is the check digit and is not part of the calculation.
Step 1: Double every other digit from the right
Starting with the rightmost digit of the first nine digits, double every other value. If doubling creates a two-digit number, add those digits together.
Step 2: Add all digits plus the NPI constant
Add the transformed values, the unchanged digits, and the constant 24.
Step 3: Find the amount needed to reach the next multiple of 10
The next multiple of ten after 62 is 70. The difference is the calculated check digit.
