Are You On the Updated Report of Providers Missing Digital Contact Information?
Are You On the Updated Report of Providers Missing Digital Contact Information?
Beginning in 2021, CMS began publicly reporting the names and NPIs (National Provider Identifier) of providers or clinicians who did not have digital contact information (or endpoints) included in the National Plan & Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Digital endpoints provide a simple, secure, scalable, and standards-based way for participants to send health information over the internet.
You can still enter endpoints in NPPES (instructions begin on slide 29) and organizations can also upload new or updated data elements in bulk format for their providers through the NPPES Electronic File Interchange (EFI) process. Providers who add endpoint information after March 2022 will be removed from the list in the next quarterly update planned for early July 2022.
CMS finalized the policy to publicly report the names and NPIs of those providers or clinicians whose endpoints are not in NPPES in the May 2020 CMS Interoperability and Patient Access final rule. For more information, click on the links below:
