There are a few ways in which you may be able to locate your PTAN. This number is assigned to each provider and group when they enroll with Medicare. Please check internally with your credentialing area. You may also locate the PTAN in the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). This number is typically listed at the bottom of the National Provider Identifier (NPI) detail screen when doing an NPI search. You may also request it in writing through the Medicare Provider Enrollment (PE) Department.
