What is the Equivalent of SCOPE_IDENTITY for SEQUENCE object?

The OUTPUT clause can be used. Is there any other choice? Thanks.

CREATE SEQUENCE dbo.NextCustomerID
    as BIGINT
    START WITH 1
    INCREMENT BY 1;
GO

-- Get the next available ID
CREATE TABLE Customer(
CustomerID BIGINT DEFAULT  (NEXT VALUE FOR dbo.NextCustomerID),
Name nvarchar(50) DEFAULT (SPACE(0)),
ModifiedDate datetime default (CURRENT_TIMESTAMP));
GO

SET NOCOUNT ON;

INSERT Customer DEFAULT VALUES;
GO 100

SELECT * FROM Customer;
GO
/*
CustomerID      Name    ModifiedDate
1               2014-06-29 11:53:51.317
2               2014-06-29 11:53:51.320
3               2014-06-29 11:53:51.320
4               2014-06-29 11:53:51.320
5               2014-06-29 11:53:51.320
6               2014-06-29 11:53:51.320
7               2014-06-29 11:53:51.320
...
