The HIN is a unique and standardized identifier that enumerates hospitals, providers, suppliers, and all other partners doing business in the supply chain. It is the method used by your trading partners for identifying locations of services and activities at your facilities.
HIN information is available to you, as a hospital or provider, without charge, via your GPO (Group Purchasing Organization) or medical supplier/distributor.
Organizations are encouraged to periodically review and update their HIN assignments, as well as to request additional assignments for locations that have not yet been enumerated with a HIN.
As a Provider you may obtain your HIN directly from HIBCC. The process can be initiated by completing the Request New Account form on the myHIN Portal. Once an account is established, you can submit new HIN and updates requests directly in your account.
Please Review This Section Before Proceeding
The myHIN portal is exclusively for providers who wish to obtain and maintain their own facility HIN only. If you need to obtain HINs for your customers/trading partners, please contact HIBCC at info@hibcc.org.
The facility must either be already open, or opening within 30 (calendar) days in order for the HIN to be assigned.
