New Form Grabs Provider IDs for Health Funding Apps
Published Date: 10/9/2026
Notice
Summary
HRSA is introducing a new form to collect organization ID numbers (like National Provider Identifiers and Medicare Certification Numbers) from groups applying for funding. This helps make the application process smoother but doesn’t require organizations to get these numbers if they don’t already have them. Public comments on this new form are open until November 9, 2026, so now’s the time to speak up!
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
HRSA will link grant data to CMS datasets
HRSA will use organizational NPIs and CCNs to link award and program data to CMS datasets (for example, Medicare and Medicaid claims, Provider of Services files, cost reports, and facility-level quality data) to support research, program evaluation, and to identify funding overlap or duplication. HRSA says these identifiers will help detect duplicates, improve evaluation datasets, and strengthen accountability and oversight.
New standardized form asks for org NPIs and CCNs
HRSA will add a new form (Applicant Organizational NPIs and CCNs, OMB No. 0906-XXXX) to the Grants.gov funding application to collect organizational National Provider Identifiers (Type 2 NPIs) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Certification Numbers (CCNs) from organizations that already have them. The form is limited to organizational identifiers and will be completed as part of the Grants.gov application process.
No requirement to obtain NPI or CCN to apply
If your organization does not have an organizational NPI or CCN, you are not required to obtain one in order to apply for or receive HRSA funding. HRSA will only collect an NPI and/or CCN from organizations that already hold those identifiers.
Estimated time burden for applicants
HRSA estimates a total annual respondent count of 6,375 and total annualized burden of 280.50 hours. Estimated burdens by applicant type are: 3,400 applicants with no NPI/CCN at 0.02 hours each (68.00 hours); 1,700 applicants with one NPI/CCN at 0.05 hours each (85.00 hours); and 1,275 applicants with two or more NPIs/CCNs at 0.10 hours each (127.50 hours).
Collection limited to organizational IDs; no individual PII
The collection is limited to organizational (Type 2) NPIs and CCNs and will not collect individual (Type 1) NPIs or other personally identifiable information. HRSA states the data will not be used to verify eligibility or compliance for cash or in-kind assistance under HRSA programs.
