CarePrecise Select™ Data Hygiene & Data Enrichment

Send us your list of provider NPIs (or UPINs, state license numbers or provider phone numbers), and we'll send back the complete data for those providers.

Get up-to-date addresses, phone and fax numbers, credentials, legal business names, taxonomy (specialty and facility type codes), NPI, UPIN, OSCAR, PECOS enrollment status, excluded provider warning, and much more...

For the specific healthcare providers you submit (as a list of NPI, UPIN or state license numbers), our Hygiene & Enrichment product 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 taxonomy codes, UPINs and other identifiers, plus all other data contained in the the National Plan & Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) for your provider file, updated monthly by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Other submission criteria can be accommodated, such as UPIN codes or state license numbers instead of NPI numbers; call (877) 782-2294 for more information.

Use this data, 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.

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. Pricing is available for the standard CarePrecise dataset or for an extended premium dataset. Call (877) 782-2294 ext. 2 to discuss your needs.

Note: Advanced record linkage based on name and address information is priced differently than direct match, on a per-project basis.

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.

InPECOS From monthly CMS PECOS distributions of PECOS-enrolled providers. Source: PECOS Ordering and Referring Report file distribution. Y= provider is enrolled in PECOS (eligible to bill Medicare); N = not enrolled. Uppercase Y indicates exact NPI match in PECOS history; lowercase y indicates algorithmic match without historical verification.

 
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.*

 

 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.

 
ExclDate

The date of the exclusion from the LEIE database, where reported.

 

 This field will be populated starting with the November 2016 release.

CPAC tTaxoGroups NPI National Provider Identifier Relational Key
  (Provider Taxonomy codes indicating group practices; MDB and CSV formats). Many-to-many table. 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.

 

    TaxoGroup Healthcare Provider Taxonomy Group_[1 through 15] 193200000X for a multi-specialty practice
193400000X for a single-specialty practice

 
CPAC tCoLoCode
(CPAC records only) 		NPI National Provider Identifier Relational Key
  (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.

 
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.

* 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.

 

 

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 5.1 million rows of data (more for the Taxonomy and Other ID tables).

OTHER FORMATS: If you need a different data structure or 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. Contact sales@careprecise.com.

 

NOTICE: 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 National Plan & Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) 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 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 information changes. Not all fields in all records are populated with data. Data is provided "as is" and in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and e-FOIA ammendments, and relevant data dissemination notices. No warranty is expressed or implied as to the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or fitness for any purpose 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. Not all fields are populated with data for every record; some fields are not populated due to restrictions imposed by a data supplier. 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 criminal and/or fraudulent 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 labled as such in the documentation. Algorithmic in-matching logic is proprietary and a trade secret. Subscriptions are fullfilled with quarterly or monthly releases containing the most recently released data from all pertinent sources.
