About NPI

In the United States, the CMS(Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is one of the best tools of modern healthcare systems. The CMS has kept pace with changing technology. Individuals or organizations apply for National Provider Information(NPI) online through the CMS’s National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). The NPI is used in standard transactions by all health plans and was created to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of electronic transmission of health information. This data is crucial for administrative tasks, finance operations, fixing appointments, medical claims reimbursements, or basically every other process in the healthcare system.

The NPI data is available for free and is possible to get by

1. Browsing the NPI Registry public search manually

2. Downloading the entire database of 6+ million records on your computer for offline handling.

3. Integration using API calls from an organization’s own website/application to the public NPI Registry database and pull out information to get real-time NPI data.

Current situation

Although it sounds simple and straightforward, many organizations face one or many of these challenges.

• Downtimes occurring in the public NPI Registry website cause undue delays in the automated processes of healthcare organizations in the US.
• Insurance agencies that work in tandem with hospitals in turn face delays in their claims processing, reimbursements, and financial billing cycles.
• Since there is no SLA(Service Level Agreement) with the NPI Registry website, the turnaround times of resolutions vary each time. It could be down for a few minutes to a few hours!
• Organizations using real-time NPI data in their manual and automated processes either have to rely on downloaded data or just wait till the websites are up and running and to reinitiate their tasks.
• Downloaded data needs to be updated every week manually in most cases and it’s a tedious time-consuming process.
