What is PIN
The provider identification number (PIN) is issued to the provider by the
Provider Enrollment of the insurance. The PIN is the "billing"
number.
What is UPIN
All physicians are issued a Unique Provider Identification Number (UPIN) by the
Registry Medicare. The UPIN is the provider’s "referring" number and
is sent to you along with your PIN.
UPIN directories are available through FOIA (Freedom of Information Act). Requests may be sent directly to the Upstate Medicare Division, P.O. Box 5200, Binghamton, NY 13902-5200.
However NPI replaces all above.
