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.
|
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.

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 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.

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. |
| Additional Data Included with Extended Professional, Group and Hospital (EPGH)/CPAC Master Bundle and CarePrecise Platinum. Data is sourced from PECOS, Physician Compare, Hospital Compare and other CMS data, and is updated monthly. Provider records are a subset of the CPAC records, with approximately 600,000 physician records and 500,000 other providers. The EPGH is not sold separately, and is available only as a bundle. No time stamp is provided for EPGH updates, and no historical data is included. |

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. 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 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 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.
