NPI Lookup from the NPI Registry

NPI Lookup is a site designed for you to easily find medical practitioners' NPI numbers. Doing so

allows you to confirm the practitioner or medical entity is registered and makes it easy to fill in

Medicare and Medicaid forms.

The Affordable Care Act massively increased demand for easily accessible NPI numbers for medical

practitioners and medical establishments. An NPI number must be included on all Medicare and

Medicaid applications, and all claims’ forms submitted by patients. Therefore, it's essential to be

able to find them quickly and easily to facilitate form submission.

An NPI registry is designed to make this process simple. By entering some basic information, such as

name, organization, or NPI number, you'll be able to confirm the details you need, or to ensure the

details you were given are correct.

What is an NPI number?

A National Provider Identifier (NPI) number is a code given to all medical providers by Medicare and

Medicaid. The code is 10 digits, and is unique for each entity, whether a person or organization.

Anyone who practices medicine is given a number, and so is included on an NPI registry for easy

access. Their number remains the same regardless of whether they move or change jobs.

An NPI number is included on all applications and claims forms submitted under Medicare and

Medicaid. It's primarily used for healthcare providers to identify themselves in financial transactions

and for care plans to identify and coordinate themselves with other providers.

How does the NPI registry work?

The NPI registry allows you to perform an NPI lookup for any doctor, physician, or healthcare

provider. Included on the registry are:

• Family medicine practitioners

• Physician's assistants

• Internal medicine

• Nurse practitioners
