This collection is approved for 9 months in accordance with the following terms of clearance: CMS will provide OMB within 2 months from the date of clearance a briefing and written analysis on the feasibility of removing the request for a provider’s SSN on the application. OMB requests CMS provide the following information: 1. Alternative methods (other than the use of a SSN, in whole or in part) for verifying and matching the identity of individual providers requesting an NPI or updating information associated with their NPI . 2. The cost and systems redesign that would be required to remove the use of the SSN (in whole or part). Please discuss costs and system redesigns associated with implementing an alternate method(s) of verifying providers' identities. This analysis should estimate costs to the program each year over 5 years.
