NPI Registry Search & CMS Hospital, Nursing Home Lookup

Find US healthcare organizations in the NPI Registry and CMS Provider Data (hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, nursing homes, hospices, dialysis centers), for healthcare sales teams, researchers, analysts and AI agents. It costs $0.003 per organization, so 1,000 organizations cost $3. Individual practitioners are not returned.

Find US healthcare organizations from the two official sources: the NPI Registry (every HIPAA-covered organization with a National Provider Identifier: hospitals, clinics, group practices, pharmacies, labs, home health, DME suppliers, behavioural health, and more, with taxonomies, addresses, phone and published FHIR endpoints) and CMS Provider Data (Medicare-certified hospitals, nursing homes, home health agencies, hospices, dialysis facilities, inpatient rehab and long-term care hospitals with ownership, ratings and services). Search by name, specialty, city, state or ZIP, look up NPIs in bulk, or list every certified facility of a type in a state.

What you can do with it

• Health-tech sales and partnerships: every hospital or home-health agency in a state with address, phone, ownership and star rating, ready for a CRM.
• Provider directories and referral tools: pharmacies, urgent care, labs or dialysis centres near a ZIP code, with taxonomies and NPIs for claims.
• Verification: confirm an organization's NPI, legal name, DBA names, subpart status and practice locations.
• Interoperability: the NPI record's published endpoints (FHIR, Direct) for organizations that register them.
• Agent tool: "which nursing homes in Wyoming are non-profit and how are they rated?" is one call.

Data sources, robots.txt and fair use

Checked on 19 October 2026 for the exact paths the Actor requests:

• NPPES NPI Registry API (npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/api/?version=2.1): robots.txt allows the path; CMS publishes the API for public use without a key (200 results per page, 1,200 per query). The Actor requests organizations only (enumeration_type=NPI-2) and never copies the "authorized official" fields, which name a person; individual practitioners (NPI-1) are not returned.
• CMS Provider Data Catalog datastore API (data.cms.gov/provider-data/api/1/datastore/query/<dataset>/0): robots.txt allows the path; the datasets are public domain. Dataset ids used: Hospital General Information xubh-q36u, Nursing homes Provider Information 4pq5-n9py, Home Health Care Agencies 6jpm-sxkc, Hospice General Information yc9t-dgbk, Dialysis Facility Listing 23ew-n7w9, Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility General Information 7t8x-u3ir, Long-Term Care Hospital General Information azum-44iv.
• Requests are spaced at least 500 ms apart, up to 500 rows per CMS request and 200 per NPI request. Organization phone numbers and addresses are the business contacts the organizations registered for public directories.

FAQ

Can I get individual doctors? No. This Actor is limited to organizations on purpose; CMS offers the NPI Registry and the Doctors & Clinicians dataset for practitioners.

Why does the NPI search stop at 1,200? The NPPES API caps paging at 1,200 results per query; add a city, ZIP prefix or taxonomy to narrow it, or run several queries.

How current is the data? NPPES updates daily; the CMS datasets refresh monthly to quarterly (the dataset name and url point to the catalog page with the release date).
