Colorado NPI Repository
The Statewide Sharing of National Provider Identifiers
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) established a standard National Provider Identifier (NPI) for individuals and organizations that deliver medical services. Not only are physicians and other health care providers required to use their own NPI when submitting claims, they must also enter the NPIs of other providers, such as when a physician is making or receiving patient referrals.
The Denver Medical Society, along with the state and other Colorado local Medical Societies, received numerous requests from members and their staffs for assistance in acting as a repository of NPI information.
We are pleased to announce that NPI data can now be shared via the Colorado NPI Repository, a secure database available to Medical Society members and their staff. The database is maintained in a secure, HIPAA compliant repository by Managed Care Advisory Group (MCAG), our technology partner for this project. We are exited to provide this benefit to our members as part of our ongoing effort to support you in meeting the challenges faced by today’s medical practices.
To avoid liability issues and assure that we meet the guidelines for sharing NPI numbers, we can only include Medical Society members in this registry. If you do not find a name you need, encourage that non-member colleague to join.

If the government has not yet assigned NPIs to your organization and providers, you can apply for them online at https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov, or by calling the NPI enumerator at 1-800-465-3203.
If you require more information on the NPI, please visit the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services website at www.cms.hhs.gov/NationalProvidentStand.
