The National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) is a web-based system developed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to assign unique identifiers to healthcare providers and health plans. This initiative aims to enhance the efficiency and security of electronic health information transmission. In 2017, NPPES underwent modernization to introduce a unified login for individual and organizational providers, bolster security measures, and streamline the National Provider Identifier (NPI) application process.
