Emergency Hospital

CCNs assigned to Emergency Hospitals (both Federal and non-Federal) that do not participate in the Medicare program.

Emergency hospitals are identified by a 6-position alphanumeric CCN. Positions one and two identify the state in which the hospital is located. Position six, an alpha character, identifies whether the hospital is Federal (F) or non-Federal (E). Positions three, four and five represent a sequence beginning with 001. This sequence identifies the order, by state, in which the CCN was issued.

For example, the CCN of the 34th emergency hospital in Maryland would be 21034E. The Regional Office assigns the CCN in strict numerical sequence without regard to the Federal or non-Federal status.
