Legacy Provider Identifiers No Longer Allowed on Crossover Claims: The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 required issuance of a unique national provider identifier (NPI) to each physician, supplier and other provider of health care who conducts HIPAA standard electronic transactions. For a time, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) allowed transactions adopted under HIPAA to be submitted with a variety of identifiers:

•  the legacy provider identifiers only,
• both the NPI and legacy provider identifiers, or
•  the NPI only

Beginning May 23, 2008, legacy identifiers are no longer allowed on any inbound or outbound 837 electronic transactions.
