# npi - A tool I wrote while working for Stratice Healthcare, a former company | |
# developing a software solution for DME ordering. I no longer have any | |
# need for this tool but am keeping it around for posterity. JsonQuery (jq) | |
# is required for the query functionality. | |
# Usage: | |
# npi [-c <count>] [-v] [-f] [<digits>] | |
# Can be run with zero, nine, or ten digits. When run with zero digits, | |
# a random npi with a valid check digit is generated, with nine digits, | |
# the calculated check digit is displayed, and with ten digits, the check | |
# digit is validated. | |
# | |
# -c # Can be used with zero digits to generate <count> NPIs. There is no | |
# programmatic upper bound so, if you run with a very large number, | |
# this can tie up your computer for a while. | |
# -v Attempts to verify the NPI with the the US Department of Health & | |
# Human services. Required jq. | |
# -f A valid NPI starts with a 1 or a 2. This forces a check digit to | |
# be generated even if the first digit is something other than 1 or | |
# 2. | |
