Licensed in 2 states

This provider holds licences in 2 states: Arizona and Louisiana.

If the address above is far from you, it is worth calling to ask whether they practise closer to where you live.

Number check

1700280609 passes the NPI check digit test The final digit 9 matches the value computed from the first nine digits, so this is a well-formed NPI.
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 7 0 0 2 8 0 6 0
Doubled? ×2 ×2 ×2 ×2 ×2 ×2 ×2
Value 8 0 8 8 0 2 7 0 0 4 8 0 6 0

Sum = 51 · next multiple of 10 = 60 · 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.
