Query Access with SQL Server Management Studio

You read that right. We provide an online database for you to query NPPES data yourself.  We recommend SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) but other options are available for advanced users. Management Studio is available for free from Microsoft and paired with our intuitive schema, you will be writing queries in no time.

Things to Know:

1. Due to the potential for abuse, we limit outbound bandwidth to 20gb per customer, per month.  For users with a defined list of practitioners, we recommend uploading an NPI list for use in queries on our portal.  If you would like, we can make available a virtual machine on our network you can connect to via Remote Desktop without bandwidth constraints.

2. We use IP restrictions on inbound connections. You will need to provide your IP address, list, or range of IP’s for access.
