(Provider Taxonomy codes indicating group practices; MDB and CSV formats) Gnum The source data (NPPES) permits group codes to be reported in up to 15 fields in this section. CarePrecise creates a 1-to-many table, listing each of a provider's reported txonomy group codes in a separate record. The Gnum is the NPPES Group Taxonomy field number in which the code was reported, allowing the code be matched with the specific group specialty in the tTaxo table. For instance, a code in tTaxoGroup field Gnum 3 indicates a group practice of the specialty reported in Tnum 3 in the tTaxo table.   This is the newest of the data released by CMS in the NPPES file. This is where the group taxonomy codes are reported. CMS does not report the codes in the taxonomy section (which appear in our tTaxo table) because they represent an additional layer of information on any one or more of the tTaxo codes.     TaxoGroup Healthcare Provider Taxonomy Group_[1 through 15] 193200000X for a multi-specialty practice 193400000X for a single-specialty practice   tCoLoCode NPI National Provider Identifier Relational Key NEW: Beginning with January 2012 distribution (the December 2012 data update). (MDB and CSV formats) CoLoCode Provider co-location code (algorithmically derived*). The NPI and CoLoCode comprise the dual relational key for this table. The NPI identifies the provider record, and the CoLoCode identifies the co-located group. The CoLoCode is an up to 40-character string that stands in for detailed location data, and is not intended to be sensical to the human viewer. The CoLoCode /Group Practice system is in beta and subject to change, although code assignment per location is designed to remain static month-to-month (i.e., a given practice group's code would remain the same from month-to-month, while members' codes would change as they move to different practice groups) unless the group's location changes, as the code is predicated on practice location.   This code is an algorithmically derived conformation of the provider's practice location, permitting identification of providers who practice at the same location, for instance, physician groups, dental groups, radiology groups, etc. By using this table in conjunction with the tTaxoGroups table, it is possible to visualize the group entity (generally an organization) and its provider members. Although each provider should have only one primary practice location in our database, technically, the tCoLoCode table is 1-to-many, because our system may not be able to resolve a single practice location per provider. There may be up to two distinct CoLoCodes for some providers.   Count Count of providers matching this co-location (algorithmically derived conformation of the provider's practice location; see tCoLoCodes above). Indicates the number of providers practicing at this co-location.     tAdded NPI National Provider Identifier Relational Key (MDB and CSV formats) DateDiscovered   The CarePrecise processing date on which the added provider record was discovered. Corresponds to the most recent previous CMS update date on which the added provider data was included in the NPPES database.   tDropped NPI National Provider Identifier Relational Key (MDB and CSV formats) DateDiscovered   The CarePrecise processing date on which it was discovered that the provider record was dropped from the NPPES database. Corresponds to the most recent previous CMS update date on which the provider data was dropped from the NPPES database.   EntityType Entity Type Code Type 1 is individual providers (i.e., physicians, psychologists, etc.); Type 2 is organizational providers (i.e., hospitals, labs, etc.)   ProvName   This is a generated field based on EntityType.   Prac1stAddr Provider First Line Business Practice Location Address   Prac2ndAddr Provider Second Line Business Practice Location Address   PracCity Provider Business Practice Location Address City Name   PracState Provider Business Practice Location Address State Name The federal data contains variations on state codes, abbreviations and full state names; we conform this field to standard 2-character state codes.

A provider may be excluded (barred from billing Medicare) for reasons of a criminal nature, among other reasons. This table contains no relational key; however, it is used to produce the Warning field in the tEntity table, which does include the provider's NPI. This table should be referenced for backup information.   (MDB and CSV formats) FN First name (Type 1 providers) MN Middle Name (Type 1 providers) OrgName Organization name (Type 2 providers) Addr Street address City City State State Zip Zip Code DOB Date of Birth (currently unpopulated) General Provider category Specialty Provider specialty UPIN Federal physician identifier code (legacy) ExclType Exclusion type (why provider was excluded) ExclDesc Exclusion Description ExclDate Date provider was excluded (YYYYMMDD)   Additional data included only in CarePrecise Gold (from USPS, U.S. Department of Commerce, and independent CarePrecise research): tZips Economic and social segmentation data for providers' service areas (This table is included only in CarePrecise Gold; MDB format) ZipCode 5-digit Zip Code   Wealth Numerical indicator of the relative wealth/poverty of the provider's immediate service area (zip).

Record linking algorithms are used to enrich our data when direct correlation (via a unique identifier field) is not available, using available information in name, address, phone, taxonomy, and other fields. In particular, the data on providers excluded from billing Medicare (from the federal LEIE database) can only be linked to NPI records by this means. In like manner, the available federal data does not provide information on providers' practice groups; using record-linkage technology, we can extrapolate the groups assuming that providers sharing the same practice location are members of the group reported at that location, and these group data can be corroborated or enriched with the group practice codes provided by CMS.

 

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: For use as CSV data files, database software that can open comma delimited files is required. For operation as a single joined dataset running in Microsoft Access, Microsoft Access 2003 or later is required. You should have 2 gigabytes of RAM (4GB recommended). Approximately 2GB of disk space shouild be allooted for storage of the MDB files, plus additional disk space when manipulating the data. Because the files are quite large, we recommend disk defragmentation prior to copying the files to your computer for best performance. The CSV files may be imported into any application that supports comma separated value files and supports approximately 3.5 million rows of data (more for the Taxonomy and Other ID tables).

OTHER FORMATS: If you need a different file format, we can probably accommodate. Contact sales@careprecise.com.

OTHER SERVICES: We can match your provider list of NPI numbers with their full NPPES record, or compile lists of specific specialties in specific zip codes. Call (877) 782-2294 or contact sales@careprecise.com for personal assistance.

 

* Proper case flat files are delivered in text file format for import into Excel or other software that excepts comma delimited format. Excel users: Some configurations may cause Excel to limit files to 1 million records (rows). Refer to your Microsoft Excel documentation.

No warranty is expressed or implied as to the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of the information presented here, nor that the data structure will not be changed in the future as necessitated by source data, beyond the diligent effort to include all released data. To determine a provider's eligibility to practice and/or to bill Medicare, users should not rely solely on data included in the CarePrecise dataset, particularly regarding alleged criminal and/or fraudulent activity given as reason for listing in data on excluded providers. Data which has been in-matched using algorithmic rather than direct means may include a percentage of error; affected data is labled as such in the documentation.
