A PAC ID is a unique 10-digit number assigned to an individual or organization healthcare provider in PECOS.

What does it mean "accepts medicare assignment"?
When a provider accepts Medicare assignment, the provider agrees to be paid directly by Medicare and to accept the payment amount approved by Medicare. Additionally, the provider agrees to not bill patients for more than the Medicare deductible and coinsurance amounts.
A provider who doesn't accept assignment may charge you up to 15% over the Medicare-approved amount. This is known as the limiting charge. You may have to pay this amount, or it may be covered by another insurer.

NPI Validation Check Digit Calculation

The following table explains the step by step NPI number validation process using the ISO standard Luhn algorithm.

Start with the original NPI number, the last digit is the check digit and is not used in the calculation.
1	4	7	7	7	9	1	0	1	0
Step 1: Double the value of the alternate digits, beginning with the rightmost digit.
2	4	14	7	14	9	2	0	2
Step 2: Add all the doubled and unaffected individual digits from step 1 plus the constant number 24.
2 + 4 + 1 + 4 + 7 + 1 + 4 + 9 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 24 = 60
Step 3: because the number obtained in step 2 ends in zero, the check digit is zero.
									0

The NPI number 1477791010 is valid because the calculated check digit 0 using the Luhn validation algorithm matches the last digit of the original NPI number.
