A National Provider Identifier (NPI) is a unique 10-digit identification number issued to health care providers in the United States by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Our database has over 8.5 million records.
All individual HIPAA-covered healthcare providers (physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, dentists, chiropractors, physical therapists, etc.) or organizations (hospitals, home health care agencies, nursing homes, group practices, etc.) must obtain an NPI for use in all HIPAA standard transactions. Once assigned, a provider's NPI is permanent. Learn more...
