Credentials and Medicare
| Licence | State | Specialty |
|---|---|---|
| 08R21 | OR | Children's Substance Abuse Rehabilitation… |
| 2624 | MT | Children's Substance Abuse Rehabilitation… primary |
Licences are recorded in 2 states: OR, MT. Providers licensed in several states often practise near a state border or deliver telehealth across state lines.
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.
Licensed in 2 states
This provider holds licences in 2 states: Montana and Oregon. The practice address on file is in Kalispell, MT, but a licence in another state usually means they see patients there too — either at a second location or by telehealth. If the address above is far from you, it is worth calling to ask whether they practise closer to where you live.

Licence numbers are self-reported to NPPES at registration. They do not confirm a licence is currently active, in good standing, or valid for the specialty shown — only the state board can tell you that, which is why we link to each one.

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 | 2 | 8 | 3 | 0 | 5 | 6 | 0 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Doubled? | — | ×2 | — | ×2 | — | ×2 | — | ×2 | — | ×2 | — | ×2 | — | ×2 |
| Value | 8 | 0 | 8 | 8 | 0 | 2 | 5 | 4 | 8 | 6 | 0 | 1 | 6 | 0 |
Sum = 56 · next multiple of 10 = 60 · check digit = 4 · actual last digit = 4
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.
