What is the NPI for Medicare?

I. SUMMARY OF CHANGES: The National Provider Identifier (NPI) will replace the Medicare/Medicaid Provider Number on Medicare claims. The NPI will assume the Medicare/Medicaid Provider Number's role as a primary identifier. However, the Medicare/Medicaid Provider Number will continue to be issued to providers and used to verify Medicare/Medicaid certification on all survey and certification, and resident/patient assessment transactions. In order to avoid confusion with the NPI, the Medicare/Medicaid Provider Number (also known as the OSCAR Provider Number, Medicare Identification Number or Provider Number) has been renamed the CMS Certification Number (CCN). The CCN continues to serve a critical role in verifying that a provider has been Medicare certified and for what type of services.

What is the NPI number?

Background: The National Provider Identifier (NPI) will replace the Medicare/Medicaid Provider Number on all Medicare claims. The NPI will assume the Medicare/Medicaid Provider Number’s role as a primary identifier. However, the Medicare/Medicaid Provider Number will continue to be issued to providers and used to verify Medicare/Medicaid certification on all survey and certification, and resident/patient assessment transactions. In order to avoid confusion with the NPI, the Medicare/Medicaid Provider Number (also known as the OSCAR Number, Medicare Identification Number, or Provider Number ) has been renamed the CMS Certification Number (CCN).

What is ESRD CCN 3500-3699?

ESRD CCN 3500-3699 for Hospital-Based Renal Dialysis Satellite Facilities are used for those ESRD facilities that are hospital-owned and hospital administered, but that are not located on the hospital’s premises. This is why they are referred to as hospital-based satellites. In determining whether such a satellite facility is hospital-based, use the same criteria as you would in making a hospital-based determination under the 2300-2499 series, except that you would assign a 3500-3699 number to such a facility because it is off the premises of the hospital to which it is based. The word premises per se is not defined in the statute, regulations, or in the SOM, but there is a definition of “furnishes on the premises” at 42 CFR 405.2102 that states “the ESRD facility furnishes services on its main premises; or its other premises that are: (a) contiguous with or in immediate proximity to the main premises, and under the direction of the same professional staff and governing body as the main premises, or (b) approved on a time-limited basis as a special purpose renal dialysis facility.” Thus, in addition to the regulations, which should assist you in determining whether the facility is an integral part of the hospital, you may use the “furnishes on the premises” definition to distinguish between a hospital-based entity under the 2300-2499 series as opposed to an entity under the 3500-3699 number series. Also, we do not believe that these satellites will be furnishing inpatient dialysis services. The CMS will make or approve the determination that a particular ESRD facility meets the requirements to be hospital-based, and if it is off the hospital’s premises, a hospital-based satellite.
