DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS
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:
- Correct and enrich your provider data
- Create tightly targeted lists of providers by specialty, location, type, gender and more
- Create contact or mailing lists, or update existing lists with accurate addresses, phones, etc.
- Match and validate provider data based on
- NPI number The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) requires every healthcare provider "covered entity" -- both individuals and organizations -- to obtain a National Provider Identifier (NPI) number by enumerating with the National Plan & Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services developed and maintains this database. "Covered entity" is defined under under HIPAA as any provider who may be listed on any electronic healthcare claim -- essentially every U.S. physician, dentist, optician, etc., and every hospital, clinic, pharmacy, lab, and many other kinds of healthcare provider.
- UPIN
- State License Number
- Provider names and 'AKA' data (i.e., other name, legal business name)
- Authorizing Official names and contact information In addition to the provider's name, the Authorizing Official name often provides access to a high-level administrative contact within a hospital, or an office manager or managing partner within a physician office.
- Credentials
- Practice and mailing addresses
- Phone and fax numbers
- Crosswalking IDs (Medicaid number, Medicare PIN, UPIN, NSC, OSCAR and others)
- All reported taxonomy (specialty) codes
- Check PECOS provider enrollment for physicians and other providers (Medicare billing eligibility)
- Identify new providers and those who have updated their information
- Identify providers who have had Medicare billing privileges revoked
- Identify all providers working at the same practice location
- Identify group practices
- Obtain data on deactivated providers, even though their data has been removed from the active database
- Be alerted when a provider is dropped from the federal healthcare provider database
- Search any NPPES data field, plus our added specialty/subspecialty field (appended English translation of providers' taxonomy codes)
- Segment providers by specialty and subspecialty
- Import provider data into your own applications
- Develop clinical trial participant pools
- Develop research data and market analysis
Co-Location Coding
The CoLoCode is an algorithmic derivation from provider practice location data, which facilitates querying providers by practice location. Our QoRelate™ record linkage system standardizes and conforms location data beyond postal specifications to link providers practicing together.
These data can be used together to successfully identify providers in groups, and to identify any provider type in a co-located group practice location, including pjhysicians, dentists, optometrists, radiologists, etc.
FILE FORMATS
The product is delivered in two formats as downloadable files, in two file formats, each containing identical data:
- Microsoft Access (.mdb); normalized relational tables, plus a control database with query examples
- Comma Separated Values (.csv); normalized relational tables
DELIVERY
Customers receive a link via email to download the files. Optional shipping via mail on a DVD disk or thumb drive is also available.
SUPPORT
The Single Purchase option includes 30 days of free Technical Support, and the subscription options come with 90 days of free Technical Support. See support details.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
For the CSV files: Any operating system and software that supports relatively large comma separated values files. For the MDB files: Microsoft Windows 7 or later, 4GB RAM, Microsoft Office Pro or Microsoft Access 2007 or later.
DATA STRUCTURE
CarePrecise Access is distributed as normalized relational database tables (MDB files), each keyed by the National Provider Identifier (NPI) number, plus a core Microsoft Access database that links the files together and includes query examples, tables that identify added, dropped and deactivated provider records, and CSV versions of the files. Through data normalization, CarePrecise reduces more than 330 highly redundant flat-file fields to less than 70, 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 abridged, but is ready to access at a fraction of the original file sizes, and in a form that can readily be searched, manipulated and imported into applications, all relationally linked by the unique NPI number.
Download a sample CPAC data pack here; the sample is identical in structure to the full set, but a reduced number of records, and does not contain deactivated provider data. Sample EPGH data is not yet available; refer to the fields list below.
The CPAC product contains all of the fields shown in the gray section in the chart below.

** Subscription plans include the listed release schedule for the listed time period, with releases approximately monthly or approximately quarterly as indicated. Each release is based on the most recent dissemination from the data sources currently available at the time of the release.
The data contained in CarePrecise® products and services is compiled and processed on an ongoing basis, with monthly update releases, from free and fee-based sources, including the complete National Plan & Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) non-sensitive data submitted by the providers themselves; Medicare Provider Enrollment Chain and Ownership System (PECOS); List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE) and other US federal sources obtainable under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and provided monthly by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Services and Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and from the U.S. Census Bureau, a division of the U.S. Department of Commerce, agencies of the U.S. federal government, and the United States Postal Service (USPS). Neither CarePrecise nor its investors, partners and affiliates are responsible for data maintained by these or other source providers. All HIPAA-covered entity healthcare providers in the U.S. are required under the Federal NPI regulation to provide their information to the NPI Registry, a federal database of healthcare providers, and to update their records within thirty days of any change in that information. Data is provided "as is" and in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and e-FOIA ammendments, and relevant data dissemination notices. While these sources are considered among the most reliable available, no warranty is expressed or implied as to the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, fitness for any purpose, or absence of processing errors of the information presented here or in any CarePrecise product or service, 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. Nothing in the product descriptions, in writing or verbal, may be construed as a warranty, guarantee, or representation of deliverability, save the deliverability guarantee on email addresses. All data ages between updates, and it is reasonable to expect that a portion of records will contain contact information that is incorrect or for other reasons undeliverable. Not all fields are populated with data for every record except where indicated; some fields are not populated due to restrictions imposed by a data supplier even though a field may be present for later use. Where percent of records populated is quoted, the percent quoted is within 0.5%, and is further subject to slight changes as data is continuously updated. To determine a provider's eligibility to practice and/or to bill Medicare or other health plans and carriers, or to in any other way perform professional activities, users should not rely solely on data included in the CarePrecise dataset, particularly regarding alleged fraudulent or infraction activity given as reason for listing in data on excluded providers (records carrying "sanction", "desanction", "warning" and/or "exclusion" identifiers). Data which has been in-matched using algorithmic rather than direct means will include a percentage of error; such data is labeled as such in the documentation. Algorithmic in-matching logic and processes are proprietary trade secrets. Subscriptions are fullfilled with quarterly or monthly releases containing the most recently released data from all pertinent sources.
