Getting Started
Things to consider early:
- Stop by the Human Resources Office in the Vincent Stabile North Building, third floor to complete your Employment Eligibility Verification (I-9 Form). (Follow instructions to schedule a Human Resources appointment.) You must present your original social security card and driver's license or passport. Do not visit Human Resources without the required identification. This must be completed prior to your scheduled orientation.
- Plan your visit to Mayo Clinic on a Monday or Tuesday to take advantage of the open studio hours in Medical Photography to get your portrait taken early.
Before arriving for orientation
Contact Provider Enrollment by May 1
- If you do not have a U.S. social security number, you cannot apply for an NPI number.
- Complete the NPI instructions once you have your social security number.
- If you have a National Provider Identifier (NPI) number, email it to Florida Provider Enrollment.
- If you do not know your NPI number, you can look it up by first and last name on the NPI registry.
- If you do not have an NPI number but do have a social security number, apply for an NPI number using the NPI, CMS Identity, and Access instructions. Once you receive your assigned NPI number, email it to Florida Provider Enrollment.
Complete and return required documents
Required documentation must be scanned and uploaded in MedHub as high-quality, high-resolution PDFs. No cell phone pictures will be accepted.

Bring prior to orientation
Social security card
Present your original Social Security card to Human Resources. If you have a social security number but have misplaced your card, or need to update it due to a name change, follow these guidelines.
- International residents and fellows without a Social Security number:
- You'll need to call the local Social Security Office and request an appointment to apply for a number in person. Generally, the Social Security Administrator recommends waiting 10 days after entry into the U.S. to apply for a SSN to allow their electronic systems to be updated with your immigration status. Upon receipt of your original card with number, you're required to present it to Human Resources.
- If you need to contact Social Security Administration, they can be reached at 1-800-772-1213 or at www.ssa.gov.
- In Jacksonville, the local Social Security office is located at 7185 Bonneval Road, Jacksonville, FL 32256. The phone number for the Jacksonville office is 877-409-8424.
If you do not have a Social Security card or your card requires updating due to a name change, you must contact the Social Security Administration at 800-772-1213, at www.ssa.gov, or you may go to their place of business in person.
International residents and fellows should wait for instructions from the Legal Department Immigration Specialist Team before applying for a Social Security Card.
Once your new card is received, please email a copy to the HRC Support Services Admin Services Team at HRReception@mayo.edu and they will update your record accordingly. Your name in our Mayo Clinic personnel records will appear exactly as it appears on your Social Security card.
