Dr. Frederick S Sherman
The practice of Dr. Frederick S Sherman accepts Medicare and accepts the Medicare-approved
the amount for the services rendered. However, there are deductibles and coinsurance amounts.
For these reasons, it is best to check with the Medicare plan before scheduling an
appointment. Patients with Medicare are encouraged to take advantage of the Medicare eRx
incentive program. However, patients without Medicare coverage should still make sure that
the provider accepts their plan’s deductible and coinsurance amounts.

chronic physical conditions and diseases. He also provides health counseling regarding

Type of health care provider assigned an NPI
A National Provider Identifier (NPI) is a unique 10-digit identification number for a health care
provider. The NPI is used to reduce fraud, improve health care system efficiency, and simplify
transactions between entities. Atlantis health services were among the first organizations to
adopt NPI. We are proud to have one of these numbers! What is an NPI? Read on to learn
more about this new system.
A health care provider can be composed of many parts and have separate physical locations.
A covered organization provider must obtain an NPI for every electronic claim it submits. Other
types of health care providers are considered “atypical” and do not have to obtain an NPI. For
example, a psychiatrist or dentist that does not see patients will not have an NPI. A
physician’s office, group practice, or hospital that specializes in mental health, will get one
under their own NPI.
An NPI is an alphanumeric identifier for a health care provider that is unique to the entity. This
identifier will never change even if the provider changes name or location, or changes
ownership or taxonomy classification. However, an NPI can be changed or discarded if the NPI
is misused or fraudulently obtained. A health care provider assigned an NPI is legally bound to
disclose this information.
