Shifting to NPI can be a huge challenge. Integrating the National Plan and Provider Enumerations System (NPPES) data can be difficult and manually collecting and entering thousands of NPI numbers is costly, cumbersome, and prone to error. With the NPI deadline looming on the horizon, many organizations have started their NPI implementation only to find it more challenging than expected.

Ingenix employs some of the most sophisticated methods of using matching logic to match the highest numbers of providers with their NPI numbers. NPPES data is already integrated within the Ingenix Provider360 database. We’ve cleaned it and matched it to your providers; aligned the NPI numbers with other referential data to facilitate cross-walks using many conventional legacy identifiers; and made it easy to integrate this data back into your systems. Provider360 NPI Integrator data can be accessed in a variety of methods.

NPI Extracts

Provide us with a list of the providers you need information for and identify the crosswalk data elements you need. We will provide you with the extracted file, including NPI and crosswalk data, in the file format that will integrate most easily into your database.

NPI Data Enhancement Services

Submit key elements from your data file and we will compare and correct any NPI numbers you have already, fill in missing NPI and taxonomy data, and return your updated file to you. We can also clean, standardize, and augment other data at the same time if you indicate the need. Or, we can provide a clean version of the NPPES file for health plans that want to do the matching themselves.
