{description: 'Per CMS Transmittal 29 dated OCTOBER 12, 2007:\r\n\r\n\"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.\"\r\n\r\nSee https://www.cms.gov/regulations-and-guidance/guidance/transmittals/downloads/r29soma.pdf', package_name: hl7.terminology, name: CCN, type: null, package_version: 7.0.1, class: codesystem, kind: codesystem, url: 'http://terminology.hl7.org/NamingSystem/CCN', version: 1.0.0}
