Reviews for DR. BEN N SMITH IV PHD
5 out of 5 stars - Review by Matthew ***** on March 25, 2026
Simply put, Dr Smith changed my life. His understanding, caring, and guidance helped me get through something that probably would have broke me had I let it go on. The advice and encouragement to keep pressing for the positive change is what most people don't get from therapy. When it felt like the whole world was against me, I at least knew he was the only one in my corner fighting with/for me.
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 1679094536, we treat the final digit (6) 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 74. The final step is to find the difference between that total and the next multiple of ten (80 - 74 = 6).
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 74 is 80. The difference is the calculated check digit.
