CMS advises therapists to report legacy numbers
Rehab Regs, August 10, 2007
CMS is reminding Medicare providers to report their legacy numbers in the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Reporting the numbers will help Medicare create a link between providers' National Provider Identifiers and the identifiers Medicare previously assigned, according to a CMS press release.
You should report your legacy number in the "Other Provider Identifier"/"Other Provider Identifier Type Code" fields in the NPPES. Removing or not reporting the legacy number could risk a Medicare claim rejection, according to the press release.
