In order for providers’ updates, changes, and deletions to be reflected in the initial downloadable file of National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) data, providers should ensure that those changes are submitted to NPPES no later than July 16, 2007. Updates, changes, and deletions that are submitted after July 16 will be reflected in the appropriate monthly update file, downloadable from the Internet. Updates, changes, and deletions will be reflected in the National Provider Identifier (NPI) registry at the same time they are reflected in NPPES.
For more information, read the “National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) Data Elements: Data Dissemination--Information for Providers.”
