Healthcare provider data and medical marketing lists

CarePrecise Select™ Data Hygiene & Enrichment

Send us your list of provider NPI numbers, state license numbers or other unique identifiers, and we'll send back the complete data for those providers.

 

For the specific healthcare providers you submit, our Data Hygiene & Enrichment service 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 licenses, credentials, taxonomy codes, specialties, and facility types, plus other rich data in the CarePrecise master provider database, updated constantly.

Other submission criteria can be accommodated if you do not have the unique identifiers. We can match your data to the official records in our master database using names, addresses, and other provider information that you do have.

You can use the data we return to you, 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.

CPAC tEntity

(Provider entity and record information; MDB and CSV formats)

CHANGE NOTE:
Beginning with the July 2022 release, seven fields were moved to a new table named tEntity-C to accommodate the growing dataset.

 NPI National Provider Identifier Relational Key
EntityType Entity Type Code Type 1 indicates an individual provider (i.e., physician, psychologist, etc.); Type 2 indicates an organizational provider (i.e., hospital, lab, pharmacy, etc.). Type1 entities (individuals) may have only one NPI number and so only one record, but Type 2 entities (organizations) may have multiple NPI numbers and thus multiple records.

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. Up until the May 2017 release, this field was algorithmically derived for some records.*

 

 Y= elements in the providers record indicated a match with a listing in the federal excluded providers database (see the table tExcluded below)

 
ExclType

The exclusion type from the LEIE database, explaining the reason that a provider was barred from billing Medicare. Fields with a Y in the Warning field will display this code.

 

 The code's definition can be found at this link. A CSV file listing these exclusion descriptions is included in the CarePrecise Access Complete CSV download file.

CPAC

tTaxoGroups

(Provider Taxonomy codes indicating group practices; MDB and CSV formats). One-to-many table.

 NPI National Provider Identifier Relational Key
Gnum

The source data (NPPES) permits group codes to be reported in up to 15 fields in this section. CarePrecise creates a one-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, assuming that the healthcare provider correctly filed the NPI enumeration.

 

 CMS does not report the group 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

NOTE: These are part of the Provider Taxonomy Code Set, but are not reported as specialty or facility codes in the tTaxo table.

tCoLoCode

(MDB and CSV formats)

 NPI National Provider Identifier Relational Key (composite)
CoLoCode™

Provider CoLoCode™ (co-location code, a CarePrecise algorithmically derived* exclusive). The NPI and CoLoCode comprise the dual relational key for this table. The NPI identifies the provider record, and the CoLoCode identifies the U.S. 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.

 

Relational Key (composite)

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. CoLoCodes are created for Practice addresses in the United States (US) and US Minor Islands (UM).

Count

Count of provider records reporting the specific practice location associated with this NPI number in the tAddresses table. Count includes both Type 1 (indivisual practitioners) and Type 2 (organization/facility) records. Organizations/facilities may enumerate with more than one NPI record as they see fit. Algorithmically derived* conformation of the provider's practice location; see tCoLoCodes above.

 
Group

Provider reports being either a Single Specialty Practice Group or Multi-specialty Practice Group or both (see the TaxoGroup table).

  
CountType1

Count of individual practitioners practicing at this location (algorithmically derived* conformation of the provider's practice location; see tCoLoCodes above).

The Delta (historical) healthcare provider tables are contained in a separate database included in the CarePrecise Complete dataset, named NPPES_Delta. They contain near-complete data on those providers whose records have been deactivated by CMS for various reasons, including retirement, death, or for any of several infractions. These tables contain the same fields as the standard provider data tables as defined above for their namesakes, and are populated with the data from previous data releases, with the deactivation date populated in the tEntity_DEACT table's DeactDate field. Please note that a record may be added to the Deactivated tables, but then later be reactivated. Also note that Type 2 records (organizations) may have multiple records; some may be deactivated while others are active. When a record is reactivated it will appear in the tAdded table of the then-current data release.
Additional Data Included with CarePrecise Advanced™and CarePrecise Platinum. Data is sourced from PECOS, Physician Compare, Hospital Compare and other CMS data, and is updated monthly. Providers in the EPGH are a subset of the CPAC records, approximately 900,000 providers plus their practice groups and affiliated hospitals.
EPGH tExtended_Professional

(The EPGH is available optionally as a bundle with CarePrecise Access Complete (CPAC) that provides additional information on healthcare professionals (particularly physicians), practice groups and hospitals, and reveals the affiliation links between all three. MDB and CSV formats.)

Only active providers (defined as having appeared on a Medicare claim in the past twelve months) are included in the EPGH dataset (unlike the CPAC dataset, which includes all US HIPAA-covered providers). EPGH data is available for approximately 640,000 physicians, and 650,000 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. EPGH practice group data makes it possible to see the multiple locations at which an individual provider practices.

* Marked above by an asterisk (*), algorithmically derived data in the datasets 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. Healthcare providers may update data in their record using the federal NPI registry website, and are required to do so within 30 days of a change in their information.

CarePrecise LLC reserves the right to make changes in the data and data structure as it deems necessary to preserve the quality of the product. Please read the Notice at the bottom of the page https://www.careprecise.com/help/ for additional information about the data.

PRICING: Pricing is based on the number of records submitted for hygiene and enrichment, and on the presence in the submitted data of unique identifiers (NPI, etc.) or lack thereof, as well as the depth of the data you want appended.

Note: Advanced record linkage based on matching with names and addresses is priced differently than direct match by NPI number.

In addition to standard CarePrecise Select services, CarePrecise offers additional record linkage services that can deduplicate records, match and merge records from different databases, append current provider data to your CRM and house lists and much more -- even without a unique identifier such as an NPI number. Our advanced record linking technology can work with basic name and address data to build a highly effective match code. Pricing differs depending on the condition of your data and other factors. Contact us to discuss your need.

 

DELIVERY: Data is in the form of relational database tables, delivered in both MDB (Microsoft Access) and CSV format. Most orders can be filled within two or three business days, depending on the complexity of the project and processing availability. Depending on the size of the enriched file and customer preference, delivery will be via download link sent by email, or for an additional charge, on shipped physical media. See the tables above for the specific files and fields that can be delivered. Data returned is subject to availability of provider-reported identifiers in the current federal provider data.
