The term "identifiers" is commonly used in healthcare to refer to the numbers or codes used to distinguish between different healthcare providers, health plans, employers, and patients. Examples of healthcare identifiers include National Provider Identifiers (NPIs) for healthcare providers, Health Plan Identifiers (HPIDs) for health plans, Employer Identification Numbers (EINs) for employers, and Patient Account Numbers (PANs) for patients. Code sets, fax codes, and EINs are not as commonly used as healthcare identifiers.
