Question 1

How often is the CMS NPI registry data updated?

Accepted Answer

MediHelp sources data directly from the CMS NPPES public registry. The registry is updated daily at the federal level, and our searches provide real-time visibility into over 6 million active National Provider Identifiers (NPI).

Question 2

Why should I verify a doctor's NPI specialty taxonomy?

Accepted Answer

Verifying a provider's primary taxonomy ensures they are registered for the service they are billing. Many instances of medical identity fraud or upcoding involve billing for advanced specialties outside of a provider's registered credentials.
