On a claim form, where is the rendering provider's NPI located?

• A. 24J
• B. 24K
• C. 23C
• D. 24I

Answer: (A)

NPI for the clinician who actually performed the service is entered in the rendering provider information area of the CMS-1500 claim form, specifically in the field that captures the rendering provider’s NPI. This 10-digit identifier uniquely identifies the individual who delivered the service, which helps payers attribute the claim to the correct clinician and process payment accurately. Other fields in the same section are used for different providers or identifiers, so placing the rendering provider’s NPI in this designated spot ensures proper attribution and avoids confusion with the billing entity or other roles.
