8.15.2017 Use of Opioids From Multiple Providers The Use of Opioids From Multiple Providers (UOP) measure instructs organizations to use the National Provider Identifier (NPI) when identifying prescribers and pharmacies. How should organizations report pharmacy claims for opioids when the prescribing provider and/or pharmacy NPI is missing?

If the prescriber and/or pharmacy NPI is missing, count each dispensing event with a missing NPI as a different prescriber and/or different pharmacy when reporting the measure. NCQA plans to clarify this in the HEDIS 2018, Volume 2 Technical Update Memo, scheduled for release on October 2, 2017.
