What is a NPI address?
The NPI is a 10-position, intelligence-free numeric identifier (10-digit number). This means that the numbers do not carry other information about healthcare providers, such as the state in which they live or their medical specialty.
Is it safe to give out NPI number?
This also means that, like a Social Security number, an NPI is vulnerable to identity theft. This is primarily because NPIs are not confidential. Your NPI is publicly available on the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System. Also, your NPI is in EHRs accessible by rogue employees and possible cyberattacks.
Is NPI contact information public?
Once assigned, your NPI is permanent and remains with you regardless of job or location changes. Your NPI profile includes your name, office contact information, and specialty. You may not have even realized that this information would be available publicly when you initially filled out your NPI application.
How do I cancel my NPI?
To deactivate an NPI, a health care provider (or the trustee/legal representative of a health care provider) must complete a CMS-10114 and mail it to the NPI Enumerator.
How do I access my NPI?
The National Provider Identifier (NPI) Registry can be accessed at https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov and used to search for your NPI and corresponding information. All information produced by the NPI Registry is provided in accordance with the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) Data Dissemination Notice.
How do I update my NPI information?
The process is simpler than most would realize. Simply head over to your NPPES account at https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov/ and create an account or login. You can submit an address change request via your account there. This is the most expedient way to make changes so we recommend this method.
