New York, NY – May 10, 2025
DR. SMILE MEDICAL GROUP, headquartered in Midtown Manhattan, has officially secured a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) National Provider Identifier (NPI). This designation marks a significant milestone for the company as it formally initiates its operations as a Managed Service Organization (MSO) in the United States, establishing a robust regulatory framework for the upcoming New York CHIVA Center.
In the United States, the NPI (National Provider Identifier) is a 10-digit identifier assigned by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to healthcare providers, clinics, and organizations. For organizations classified as HMOs, the NPI serves as a critical tool for managing healthcare networks, coordinating resources, and facilitating billing and claims processing.
As a specialized healthcare service organization focusing on venous disease management, DR. SMILE MEDICAL GROUP obtained the HMO NPI to establish a comprehensive CHIVA Center network spanning North America, Asia, and Africa. The NPI classification enables the company to streamline procurement, personnel allocation, and data management across its centers while maintaining a unified standard of healthcare management services for patients.
Before the official launch of the New York CHIVA Center, DR. SMILE MEDICAL GROUP will integrate the NPI system to ensure seamless coordination between clinics, physicians, and management services. This strategic move not only enhances operational efficiency but also sets a solid foundation for the future expansion of CHIVA Centers across the United States.
Key Benefits of NPI Implementation:
- Cross-State Management: Standardizing billing processes and data transmission across CHIVA Centers.
- Resource Integration: Optimizing procurement, recruitment, and patient data management systems.
- Brand Consistency: Ensuring a cohesive management and medical network throughout the CHIVA Center rollout.
Following the NPI approval, DR. SMILE MEDICAL GROUP will continue to expand its global CHIVA Center network, with plans to establish new centers in New York, Los Angeles, and other major cities, delivering specialized, top-tier varicose vein management services to patients worldwide.
