- Summary
- Following the implementation of the National Provider Identifier (NPI), the Medicare/Medicaid Provider Number will continue to be issued to certified providers/suppliers and used on all Survey and Certification, and patient assessment transactions. In order to distinguish its role from that of the NPI, the Medicare/Medicaid Provider Number has been renamed the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Certification Number (CCN).
