What is the difference between a vendor number, provider number and reference number?
A vendor number is assigned to a CE sponsor and connects the individual, company or institution to ASRT’s financial database. It is a six-digit number. A provider number is assigned to medical facilities that only provide continuing education for their employees. The provider number is a combination of three letters and three numbers. A reference number is a continuing education activity identification number assigned to ASRT Category A approved CE activities. A reference number contains ten characters including letters and numbers.
