CarePrecise Select Data Hygiene & Enrichment

Send us your list of provider NPIs (or UPINs, state license numbers or provider phone numbers), and we'll send back the complete NPPES data for those providers.

Up-to-date addresses, phone and fax numbers, credentials, legal business names, taxonomy (specialty) codes and much more...

For the specific healthcare providers you submit (as a list of NPI, UPIN or state license numbers), our Hygiene & Enrichment product delivers the most up-to-date contact information, including mailing address/phone/fax and practice address/phone/fax, provider names and AKA names, all reported taxonomy codes, UPINs and other identifiers, plus all other data contained in the the National Plan & Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) for your provider file, updated monthly by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Other submission criteria can be accommodated, such as UPIN codes or state license numbers instead of NPI numbers; call (918) 406-3998 for more information.

Use this data, which includes the complete set of reported provider identifiers, to improve the speed and accuracy of crosswalks, optimize claims for speedy payment, reduce days in A/R, improve system efficiencies and reduce HR costs, and for business development and research applications.

PRICING: As low as 2 cents per record. Pricing is based on the number of records you submit for hygiene and enrichment as shown in the table below. Call (918) 406-3998 to order.

DATA STRUCTURE: CarePrecise is distributed as seven normalized relational database tables, each keyed by the National Provider Identifier (NPI) number, plus a core Microsoft Access database that links the seven files together and includes query examples, plus CSV versions of the normalized datafiles. Through data normalization, CarePrecise reduces the highly redundant 314-field NPPES flat file structure to 65 unique fields, removing large volumes of unused space while preserving every character of the data and all of the original granularity. The data is in no other way "compressed," but is ready to access at as little as 13% of the original file size (varies), and in a form that can readily be searched, manipulated and imported into applications.
