Summary
NPI Validation checks a provider’s National Provider Identifier (NPI) against CMS’s NPPES database. Results may show: Active (valid and listed), Inactive (deactivated and no longer listed), Invalid (not 10 digits or contains invalid characters), or Not Found (valid format but not listed or deactivated).
National Provider Identifier (NPI) Validation verifies the status of the provided NPI against the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES).
The possible statuses that could be returned are:
- Active: Provider data will display as shown on NPPES
- Inactive: NPI is no longer active, NPPES does not include the previously associated provider and has deactivated the NPI.
- Invalid: NPI provided is not the correct number of digits (all NPIs are 10 digits) or contains different characters.
- Not found: The provided 10-digit NPI is not found on NPPES and was not deactivated.
