Abstract:
The EFI process allows provider-designated organizations (EFIOs) to capture multiple providers' NPI application information on a single file. To ensure that the EFIO has the authority to act on behalf of the each provider and complies with other Federal requirements, the EFIO must sign a certification statement and mail it to CMS. Most EFIOs will be entities that employ or represent large number of medical providers.

Short Statement:
Due to the fact that the majority of health care providers utilize the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) web application in order to obtain their NPIs or submit updates/changes to their existing NPPES data and most existing providers now have their NPIs, the burden associated with the Electronic File Interchange Organizations (EFIOs) certification statement (CMS-10175) has significantly decreased. In addition, the majority of organizations that would likely ever be EFIOs have already registered, completed the certification statement and are approved to submit EFI files; therefore, the number of respondents have greatly decreased. The EFIO certification statement form (CMS-10175) is still required for new EFIOs who wish to submit EFI files on behalf of health care providers who wish to obtain NPIs or wish to have an EFIO submit updates/changes on their behalf.
