Provider's Legacy Number

Medical billing & coding glossary · all terms

Legacy term. Older identifiers such as UPIN, PIN, OSCAR, or NSC may appear in historical records; current workflows use the required NPI, PTAN, CCN, or payer-specific identifier for the transaction.

You may encounter Provider's Legacy Number in historical claims, policy documents, or archived records. Use the current equivalent above for present-day work, and verify payer guidance for the applicable date of service.
