NPI Lookup queries the official CMS NPPES registry database in real-time to retrieve comprehensive provider records. When you enter an NPI number or provider name, the system searches across Type 1 individual and Type 2 organizational records to return detailed information including taxonomy codes, practice locations, enumeration dates, and credential status. The verification process is instantaneous and provides the same authoritative data used for HIPAA-compliant healthcare transactions.

Yes, NPI Lookup displays licensure information associated with provider NPI records, including state medical license numbers and credential status where available in the NPPES database. While the primary focus is NPI verification, the tool retrieves all enumeration data including taxonomy classifications that indicate provider specialties and credentials. For comprehensive medical license lookup across multiple states, the platform integrates with state board databases to provide enhanced verification capabilities.

The platform supports searches for all provider types registered in the NPPES system, including individual practitioners (Type 1) such as physicians, nurses, therapists, and dentists, as well as organizational entities (Type 2) like hospitals, clinics, group practices, and medical equipment suppliers. You can search by NPI number, provider name, organization name, specialty taxonomy, or practice location to retrieve detailed provider profiles with enumeration history and active status verification.

Professional and Enterprise plans include bulk verification capabilities that allow credentialing teams to upload and verify multiple NPI records simultaneously. The system processes batch lookups efficiently, returning comprehensive provider data for each record including taxonomy codes, addresses, and credential status. This feature is essential for provider network management, enrollment processing, and compliance audits requiring verification of 1000+ providers in a single operation.

NPI Lookup maintains real-time synchronization with the CMS NPPES database, ensuring that provider information reflects the most current enumeration data available. The platform updates continuously as providers modify their records, change practice locations, or update taxonomy classifications. All verification results include enumeration dates and last update timestamps, providing transparency about data currency for compliance documentation and credentialing workflows.

Yes, Professional and Enterprise plans offer API access that enables seamless integration of NPI verification into electronic health records, billing systems, credentialing platforms, and compliance management tools. The API supports real-time lookups, bulk verification requests, and custom data formatting to match your system requirements. Integration capabilities include webhook notifications for provider record updates and automated verification workflows that reduce manual data entry across healthcare operations.
