LOINC long common name : CMS certification number (CCN) Agency [OASIS];
LOINC description : 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.;
