Abstract: HHS is consolidating provider enumeration across programs. The NPS will be used in program operations and management to assign provider identification numbers, i.e., billing numbers for claims processing and payment. It will replace the current Medicare, Physician and Eligibility System (MPIES) and UPIN; it will replace the enumeration functions of the Medicare OSCAR, CLIA, and NSC provider numbering systems.
