COPA
NPI Group:
•Discovered that AT’s are not reporting that they are AT’s per their taxonomy codes.

Their goal is to create a tool box for AT’s to present to groups and explain what an NPI is and why it is important.
Worth to Value Group:
Just getting going

We have 7 new terms that went to the board for approval in January. These terms will be added to the terminology resources under the title of “commonly
