In addition to provider data web service products, NPIDS also has made the provider data available in the form of eDirectory in very user-friendly seachable PDF format. Our NPIDS eDirectory is available state wise for 52 states. Each eDirectory will contain both individual and organizational providers. The eDirectory has been designed with bookmarks and internal links so that providers are searchable quickly using provider names, NPI and UPIN. The individual providers, organizational providers, NPI# and UPINS are book marked separately.

NPIDS has made the NPPES provider data available through the webservice. It instantly retrieves NPI details, demographic details, specialty, license and other ids. The intent behind the Provider Data Web Service is to drive the internet as a transactional tool rather than simply a visual tool. These application-to-application interactions are driven by, and built on, existing standards such as:

     • Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
     • Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)
     • Web Services Description Language (WSDL)
     • Extensible Markup Language (XML)

The provider data in NPIDS data sets are taken directly from monthly updates from the National Plan & Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a division of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), an agency of the US federal government. NPIDS is not responsible for the quality and timeliness of NPPES data. NPIDS might add few columns in some of the files to have normalized data and to accommodate derived descriptions of the data, which would help the customers for the practical use of the dataset in their systems and environments.
