Medicare enrolment is recorded as approved under the provider type Practitioner - Pain Management. There are 3 separate enrolment records across 3 states (MD, VA, DC). Multiple enrolments usually mean the provider bills Medicare from more than one practice location, or has kept an earlier enrolment after moving. Each record carries its own enrolment ID, listed above. Being enrolled means the provider can bill Medicare; it does not tell you whether they are currently accepting new Medicare patients. Call the office to confirm.

An NPI-1 identifies a single person. It stays with the clinician for life, even if they move practice or change state, which is why the address on file can lag behind where they actually work today.

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 | 6 | 8 | 4 | 2 | 7 | 9 | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Doubled? | — | ×2 | — | ×2 | — | ×2 | — | ×2 | — | ×2 | — | ×2 | — | ×2 |
| Value | 8 | 0 | 8 | 8 | 0 | 2 | 5 | 3 | 8 | 8 | 2 | 5 | 9 | 5 |
Sum = 71 · next multiple of 10 = 80 · check digit = 9 · actual last digit = 9
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.
