  12. Are providers required to collect and report a patient's Social Security Number?

    Yes, where possible. We recognize that several circumstances may inhibit collection of SSN in the field, such as a foreign visitor or illegal alien, infants, John Doe's, or the SSN may just not be readily available. There are field values available to accommodate each situation (no blanks will be accepted). However, every attempt should be made to collect and record the patient's SSN, either at the time of service, or updated after the fact. This is an important factor for billing; but it is also the only method available to link patient outcome data from hospitals and rehab. The quality and quantity of an agency's outcome data will be directly related to their ability to collect and report patient SSN.
