The NPI (National Provider Identifier) numbering and identification system has replaced the previous UPIN, OSCAR, PIN and NSC systems of identifying health care providers and suppliers. NPI is a standard, unique identifier mandated by the The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
All health care providers are eligible for NPIs. Application forms are available from CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services), part of HHS (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services).

It may be searched by most specialties, although identification numbers (taxonomy codes) have not yet been assigned to all specialties. The database is updated regularly.
