Question: Can a health care provider continue to use other numbers besides the NPI?
Answer: Only the National Provider Identifier (NPI) may be used for identification purposes for a covered health care provider in standard transactions. Legacy identifiers (such as the Unique Physician Identification Number (UPIN), Medicaid Provider Number, Medicare Provider Number, and others) may not be used. Where a covered health care provider must be identified in standard transactions for tax purposes, it is to use its Taxpayer Identifying Number as required by the implementation specifications. Health care provider identification numbers other than the NPI can be used in the internal processes and files of health plans or health care clearinghouses if they wish to continue to use those identification numbers in those internal processes and files.
