Traci-
You only have to provide your patients with the NPP once. You need to
somehow track that you have provided the patient with a copy. One thing
to keep in mind, however, is that if you change or update your NPP new
copies need to be provided to your patients. At least that's my
Tracy, you must provide the NPP at first contact (with
some exceptions) or upon future request (for example after the NPP has been
modified.) There is no requirement to provide it at every visit. You
only need to make a good faith effort to obtain acknowledgement at that first
contact
delivery. See 45 CFR 164.502(c)(2).
Hope this helps
