| Warning |
From the Office of Inspector General's excluded providers database (LEIE), indicatying a sanction prevents the provider from billing Medicare. A warning in this field should not be taken as definitive; the user should check the tExcluded table and consider other sources of provider fraud and exclusion information.
. NOTE: Beginning with the May 2017 release, only those LEIE-listed providers tagged with an NPI number in the LEIE source data are flagged in the Warning field, and the algorithmically-derived flags will be discontinued. This is consistent with the now-ubiquitous adoption of the National Provider Identifier. Up until the May 2017 release, this field was algorithmically derived.*

| ExclType |

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 taxonomy 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.

tCoLoCode
(CPAC records only) |
NPI |

| |
(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 physical location. 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.
|
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.

EPGH data is available for approximately 560,000 physicians, and 300,000 other professionals, and is growing. The hospital data in EPGH provides an unduplicated listing of hospitals and their highest priority NPI number, and is linked to each hospital's affiliated professionals/physicians and practice groups.

* Marked above by an asterisk (*), algorithmically derived data in the CPAC dataset includes data that is extracted/mined from the source databases, but which has a margin of error and should not be relied upon as conclusive. 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, some of the older data on providers excluded from billing Medicare (from the HHS Office of Inspector General's excluded providers database) can only be linked to NPI records by this means. Please note that when matches are found, there may be instances where an individual or firm has the same or similar name and location information as an excluded provider but is actually a different party. Therefore, it is important that you verify a potential match with the debarring agency identified in the record information. See the disclaimer appearing at the bottom of the documentation page.
Not all fields in all records are populated with data. Providers may update data in their record using the federal NPI registry website.
CarePrecise Technology LLC reserves the right to make changes in the data and data structure as necessary for its purposes.

CarePrecise Access Complete (CPAC) is a normalized relational database. The format is specifically designed to be used on standard office-class desktop and laptop computers, overcoming the filesize and maximum row and column issues posed by oversized databases, using a process that removes blank cells from flat files and organizes the data into separate tables for name information, address information, etc., plus data from other federal sources. This allows queries to act on the full dataset (more than 5 gigabytes) within a normal PC environment, either using the Microsoft Access MDB files, or by importing into other database applications such as FileMaker, SalesForce, MySQL, MS-SQL, Postgre, Oracle, FoxPro, Caché, etc. using the provided CSV files. In addition to the complete NPPES data, specialty and subspecialty descriptions have been added to the taxonomy data, enabling searches for "dentist," "otolaryngology," etc., in addition to the provider taxonomy codes Specialties are reported by providers using their Provider Taxonomy Codes. CarePrecise datasets include both the taxonomy code and the specialty in plain English. Click the link to see current specialties.. The LEIE database of providers excluded from billing Medicare is included and linked to NPI records using advanced record-linkage, providing an NPI number for all LEIE (barred provider) records on matching providers, including providers not given an NPI number within the LEIE. An "InPECOS" field indicates all providers who have completed the enrollment process for billing Medicare and are currently in the federal PECOS system. The CarePrecise Access dataset can be used to:
