Apex: Combination Enrollment

  Permissions You must have Organization Administration Permissions. 

An Apex Combination Enrollment means that you need to enroll in as both Type 1 and Type 2. There are various situations that might necessitate that, for example, your Practice is credentialed as a Type 2 NPI with a Payer(s), but your Individual Providers are credentialed as Type 1 NPI with another Payer. You would need to enroll as a Group (Type 2 NPI) and then the appropriate Providers as an Individual (Type 1 NPI).

If you are unsure how you a credentialed, check out this article.

Recommended Workflow: Enroll as Group (Type 2 NPI) and then Individual (Type 1 NPI).
