Pharmacy Parent Organization Identifier (encrypted)

SAS Name
PRNT_ORG_ID

The encrypted NCPDP identifier for a business entity that has been reported to serve as the headquarters for chains, buying groups or third party contracting organizations. There may be multiple relationship IDs (variable called RELATIONSHIP_ID) that link to a common parent organization.

Comments

This variable was new in 2012.

A single parent organization ID will generally relate to multiple CCW_PHARM_IDs (i.e., multiple pharmacies can have the same parent company).
