Credentials and Medicare
| Licence | State | Specialty |
|---|---|---|
| MD051024L | PA | Pediatrics Physician primary |
This provider holds licence MD051024L issued in PA. A licence number in NPPES reflects what was filed at registration — it does not confirm the licence is still active today.
This NPI does not appear in the PECOS Medicare enrolment file. Providers who do not bill Medicare — or who bill only through a group's enrolment — will not appear here. It is not a sign of any problem with the registration.
What Pediatrics covers
A pediatrician is concerned with the physical, emotional and social health of children from birth to young adulthood. Care encompasses a broad spectrum of health services ranging from preventive healthcare to the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic diseases. A pediatrician deals with biological, social and environmental influences on the developing child, and with the impact of disease and dysfunction on development. NUCC Health Care Provider Taxonomy, code 208000000X
The taxonomy records how the provider classifies their own practice. It does not confirm which conditions they currently treat, whether they are accepting new patients, or which insurance they take — call the office for that.
Full NPPES record
An NPI-2 identifies an organization — a clinic, hospital, group practice, laboratory, or supplier. Individual clinicians working there hold their own NPI-1 numbers separately, so a bill may reference both.

Number check
How the check works, step by step
Every NPI carries a Luhn check digit — the same scheme used on credit cards. CMS prefixes the number with 80840 before computing it, which marks it as a US health identifier.
| Digit | 8 | 0 | 8 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 5 | 1 | 8 | 9 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Doubled? | — | ×2 | — | ×2 | — | ×2 | — | ×2 | — | ×2 | — | ×2 | — | ×2 |
| Value | 8 | 0 | 8 | 8 | 0 | 2 | 5 | 2 | 8 | 9 | 4 | 6 | 5 | 4 |
Sum = 69 · next multiple of 10 = 70 · check digit = 1 · actual last digit = 1
A valid check digit only means the number is well-formed. It does not mean the provider is licensed, active, or in good standing — those are separate questions answered by the sections above.
