you can do a general internet search or call your local Medicare intermediary and ask who a specific provider is they will never release the provider number over the phone and you cant get it any other way without being affiliated with the provider.
Provider Transaction Access Number (Medicare Providers)
Yes. Original Medicare does not require you to obtain a referral before seeing a provider, but it does expect you to see a Medicare provider.
No. This is false. - A Medicare participating provider can not decide to accept assignment on a claim-by-claim basis. The provider registers with Medicare as a provider that will accept assignment and must accept assignment on all patients.
It means that the provider agrees to bill Medicare for treatment and accept Medicare as payment in full (except for co-pays and deductibles).
National provider identifier
Apparently it's impossible to find out your own CNN (CMS Certification Number). Unlike the NPI which anyone can look up on a database with just your name, the CNN is mysteriously kept secret. My new employer insists that I have such a number. I was told to ask HR or the billing department at my current job. My present employer insists that they do not use individual provider CNN numbers. I can't find any place to search for the CNN number on the CMS website. Google searches suggest calling a mysterious Medicare contact (who would that be?) or say you have to be associated with the provider to obtain the number (um, hi, I AM the provider and still can't find my alleged CNN number). Thank you to a government that allows employers to obtain numbers in my name but does not mandate that the employer ever notify me what the number might be.
Please call or visit your local Medicare office. If you call the 800 #, you could wait up to 3 hrs.
