NPPES-in-FHIR API Documentation

This page provides information on how to use the API for accessing NPPES (National Plan and Provider Enumeration System) data in FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) format.

API Usage

To use the API, you need to know the NPI (National Provider Identifier) number of the provider you're looking up. Once you have the NPI, you can make requests to our API endpoint.

API Endpoint

The general format of the API endpoint is:

{url}/fhir/{resourceType}/{npi}

Replace {url} with the base URL of our service, {npi} with the NPI number you're querying, and {resourceType} with the appropriate Resource Type.

Example

If our base URL is https://nppes-fhir-example.com and you're looking up a Practitioner with the NPI number 1234567890, your API call would look like this:

https://nppes-fhir-example.com/fhir/Practitioner/1234567890

Response

The API will return FHIR-formatted JSON data for the specified NPI number. This data includes information such as the provider's name, address, taxonomy codes, and other relevant details.

Notes

• This API is part of our experimental NPPES FHIR data platform and is subject to changes and updates.
• Ensure you're using valid NPI numbers
