What Is ClearNPI?
ClearNPI is a free web tool that gives anyone instant access to the NPPES National Provider Identifier (NPI) registry — the federal database of all U.S. healthcare providers maintained by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
Every physician, nurse practitioner, hospital, clinic, pharmacy, and healthcare organization that participates in the U.S. healthcare system is assigned a unique 10-digit NPI number. ClearNPI makes it easy to find that number — or verify one you already have — in seconds.
Who Uses ClearNPI?
Medical Billers
Verify provider NPI numbers before submitting claims to avoid costly rejections and denials.
Healthcare Administrators
Quickly look up referring provider details, validate credentialing data, and maintain accurate records.
Insurance Coordinators
Confirm in-network provider information and verify organizational NPI numbers for plan processing.
Patients
Look up a doctor's NPI to verify their credentials or share it with insurance for prior authorizations.
Where Does the Data Come From?
All provider data displayed on ClearNPI comes directly from the NPPES NPI Registry, a publicly available federal database updated daily by CMS. ClearNPI does not store, modify, or republish this data — results are fetched in real time from the registry during your search.
Because the data is federally maintained public record, it is accurate, authoritative, and free for anyone to access. ClearNPI simply makes it faster and easier to search.
Why We Built It
The official NPPES search interface is functional but cumbersome. Medical billers, administrators, and coordinators who look up NPI numbers dozens of times per day deserve a faster, cleaner experience. ClearNPI was built to be exactly that — a no-friction, no-login tool that gets out of your way and gives you the answer.
ClearNPI is operated by cmdecho.com. Questions or feedback? Reach us at info@clearnpi.com.
