PROVIDn is a concatenation of the 3-digit parent station identifier variable (STA3N) and the provider ID code (PROVID1-PROVID10), now referred to as the Internal Entry Number (IEN). The IEN is a computer-generated number for the provider identification. Provider ID is assigned arbitrarily at the local level, thereby increasing the possibility of one provider having multiple provider IDs depending on the number of stations with which he/she may be associated. Consequently, it is difficult to associate a unique provider or specialist with a provider ID at the national level. ................................................................................. ========================================================================================== PROVID2 PROVIDER ID 2 Section: J1 Level: Outpatient Type: Character Width: 18 Decimals: 0 See documentation for PROVID1. ................................................................................. ========================================================================================== PROVID3 PROVIDER ID 3 Section: J1 Level: Outpatient Type: Character Width: 18 Decimals: 0 See documentation for PROVID1. ................................................................................. ========================================================================================== PROVID4 PROVIDER ID 4 Section: J1 Level: Outpatient Type: Character Width: 18 Decimals: 0 See documentation for PROVID1. ................................................................................. ========================================================================================== PROVID5 PROVIDER ID 5 Section: J1 Level: Outpatient Type: Character Width: 18 Decimals: 0 See documentation for PROVID1. ................................................................................. ========================================================================================== PROVID6 PROVIDER ID 6 Section: J1 Level: Outpatient Type: Character Width: 18 Decimals: 0 See documentation for PROVID1. ................................................................................. ========================================================================================== PROVID7 PROVIDER ID 7 Section: J1 Level: Outpatient Type: Character Width: 18 Decimals: 0 See documentation for PROVID1. ................................................................................. ========================================================================================== PROVID8 PROVIDER ID 8 Section: J1 Level: Outpatient Type: Character Width: 18 Decimals: 0 See documentation for PROVID1. ................................................................................. ========================================================================================== PROVID9 PROVIDER ID 9 Section: J1 Level: Outpatient Type: Character Width: 18 Decimals: 0 See documentation for PROVID1. ................................................................................. ========================================================================================== PROVID10 PROVIDER ID 10 Section: J1 Level: Outpatient Type: Character Width: 18 Decimals: 0 See documentation for PROVID1. ................................................................................. ========================================================================================== DXLSF PRIMARY DX STAY (ICD9) (6-DIGIT) Section: J1 Level: Outpatient Type: Character Width: 6 Decimals: 0 DXLSF Primary ICD-9-CM diagnostic code responsible for the patient's full length of stay in the hospital.
