The Importance of Reporting Medicare Legacy Numbers in NPPES The reporting of legacy numbers in the "Other Provider Identifier"/"Other Provider Identifier Type Code" fields in the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) will assist Medicare in successfully creating linkages between providers' NPIs and the identifiers that Medicare has assigned to them (such as PINs). You should be aware that if you remove your legacy numbers from the "Other Provider Identifier"/"Other Provider Identifier Type Code" fields, linkages that Medicare has established using the reported Medicare legacy numbers will be broken and your Medicare claims could be rejected.

Medicare Implementation Timeframes Medicare's implementation involving acceptance and processing of transactions with the NPI will occur in separate stages, as shown in the document below (See Downloads section.) Medicare Expectations on Determination of Subparts The NPI Final Rule requires health care providers who are organizations and who are covered entities under HIPAA to determine if they have "subparts" that should be assigned NPIs. The NPI Final Rule provides guidance to those health care providers in making those determinations. We have communicated to the Provider Enrollment staff at the carriers and fiscal intermediaries the Medicare program's expectations concerning the determination of subparts for NPI assignment purposes. We have prepared a document describing the subpart concept and its relationship to the way in which Medicare enrolls its organization providers. This document will be helpful to carrier and fiscal intermediary staff in understanding the issue of subparts and how subpart determination could be done in a way that helps to promote smoother and more efficient Medicare claims processing during the implementation of the NPI in the Medicare program. The health care industry in general has expressed an interest in being informed of this type of information. We post it here so that it is easily available to interested parties. NPI Question Resource Sheet Many NPI questions that providers and their staff may have can be answered by the resources provided here on the CMS NPI page. The "NPI Question Resource Sheet" points to specific resources that can help answer common questions (see Downloads section below). Please note that CMS cannot respond individually to every question submitted as feedback via the website. However, be assured that we are reviewing all questions to determine if new educational products or "Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)" are needed or if revisions to existing products or FAQs are warranted. Please bookmark this website and continue to check for updates to official information and education. You can also visit the NPI Question Resource Sheet (see Downloads below) for resources on this website that will help answer common questions.
