Search NPI Records
Effective 6/25/2024: To ensure the best experience, NPPES has limited the amount of NPI Registry queries that can be completed per hour
- Bulk NPI Registry queries must use the DDS file.
Please Note: Issuance of an NPI does not ensure or validate that the Health Care Provider is Licensed or Credentialed. For more information please refer to NPI: What You Need to Know
NPI Registry Public Search is a free directory of all active National Provider Identifier (NPI) records. Healthcare providers acquire their unique 10-digit NPIs to identify themselves in a standard way throughout their industry.
Individuals or organizations apply for NPIs through the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). After we supply an NPI, we publish the parts of the NPI record that have public relevance, including the provider's name, specialty (taxonomy) and practice address.
CMS provides this service based on federal law (45 CFR Part 162). We also supply this directory in a full download file, or through an Application Programming Interface (API).
If you are a provider with questions about your record, our Enumerator can assist you: 800.465.3203 | 800.692.2326 TTY | email.
