This variable is contained in the following files:
SAS Name
PRVDR_FULL_CCN_NUM
This variable is the extended CMS Certification Number (CCN).
This extended field is designed to allow for the identification of multiple campus hospitals. For multicampus hospitals, all campuses contain the same first 6-digit CCN (reference PRVDR_BASE_FAC_NUM variable in this data file), but positions 7–13 may be used to distinguish between campuses (ex. 01, 02, 001, 002, A, etc.) In the future positions 7–13 may have other uses.
This field is the full provider CMS certification number from the first claim record included in the stay.
This field was new in 2021.
