Healthcare Provider Statistics

The Healthcare Provider Statistics page summarizes the latest publicly available National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) data published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The figures are based on all active healthcare providers with National Provider Identifiers (NPIs) in the United States. We process and organize the monthly NPPES release to make these statistics easier to explore and compare.
