NAME TYPE LENGTH --------------------------------------------- ENCRYPTED PRESCRIBER ID CHAR 15 This field contains the prescriber's unique identification number. CMS will transition to the use of the NPI when it is implemented. In the interim, CMS requires use of a DEA number whenever it uniquely identifies the prescriber and is allowed by State law. In other cases, the prescriber's State license number or UPIN is used. SHORT NAME: PRSCRBID LONG NAME: PRSCRBR_ID SOURCE: CCW
