Re: UPIN Number for VA doctor is VAD000

[Guest guest]

Per CMS:

The surrogate UPINs are as follows

Active military doctors and those employed by Veterans Affairs: VAD000

Doctors serving in Public Health System, including Indian Affairs: PHS000

Doctors who do not have a UPIN, such as pediatricians, some mental health

providers, or for diagnostic or radiology doctors: OTH000

Source: http://www.cms.hhs.gov/Transmittals/downloads/R145PI.pdf

Best (most current) " official " source of UPINs: www.upinregistry.com

Hope this helps!
