My private information is exposed online! I didn't give you my permission!!
We truly appreciate your concern and your privacy is our main priority. Our site does not keep any database, we are reflecting the NPI information that is publicly exposed by NPPES - the governmental organization that issues NPI numbers. We encourage you to take a moment and alter your profile to hide any private information, cause it becomes publicly distributed in the internet by NPPES. You can alter or update your information using the instructions below.
Information that you display is incorrect and needs to be updated
You can alter or update your NPI profile by contacting NPPES using one of the following means:
By phone:
1-800-465-3203 (NPI Toll-Free)

Note: contacts above are
not our contacts - this is the contact information of NPPES - governmental organization that manages NPI numbers
As soon as the information is updated at NPPES you should receive the confirmation e-mail or confirmation should be given to you by phone or regular mail.
Important: when you receive the confirmation of your account's update, please send us a note using Feedback page indicating your NPI number. This will guarantee our cache gets synchronized with NPPES instantly not waiting for the regular update, which happens every 3 months.
I want my name to be removed from the list!
As it is explained above, your information is publicly exposed by NPPES - there are lots of other resources that take this information from them and make it publicly available. We can mask your information on our site, but that will not resolve your concern, since with next NPPES update (in 3 months or sooner) information will appear again (we simply reflect their database not keeping any data on our servers). The better way of resolving your concern is contacting NPPES as shown above and removing your personal or private information from their listing or updating information to list only business contacts. This way you will be protected and your business partners will be able to find you, which will increase your business opportunities. If we can assist you in any way with protecting your privacy or helping your business to grow - please let us know.
OK you have updated the information on your site, but when I Google my name I still see the wrong information
Due to their nature, search engines cache the information they find in the web. So when something gets updated they still show old information for some period of time. Unfortunately we have no control over Google and cannot force them refreshing the cache. This usually happens in some period of time, but it's totally up to them when to refresh the data. You may want to contact Google Inc. asking them to update the cache or decrease the refresh time for your page at NPIValidator.com. If there is anything we can help you in these regards, please do not hesitate to let us know.
