Haha, I bet the exam writers really wanted to trick us with that NPS thing in Option C. Nice try, but I'm too smart for that!

I'm pretty sure Option D is the false statement. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services are responsible for maintaining the HCPCS code set, not updating it.

Option E is incorrect. The NPI is assigned to health care providers, not health plans.

Option C is definitely false. The NPI is assigned by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, not the National Provider System.

I agree with Viola, because the NPI is actually assigned to individual healthcare providers, not health plans.
