Changing your NPI address
- Sign in to NPPES with your I&A login.
- Open your NPI record and choose to edit it.
- Change the practice location or mailing address, or add another practice location.
- Go through to the end of the application and submit it.
Most changes show on the public registry, and on this site, within a day.
Other things you can update
- Name, after marriage or a legal name change (you'll need to give the old name too)
- Taxonomy codes and which one is primary
- State license numbers
- Phone and fax numbers
- Other identifiers such as Medicaid IDs
- For organizations, the authorized official
The 30-day rule
Federal rules say providers must update NPPES within 30 days of a change to their required information. Out-of-date addresses also cause problems in practice: payers and pharmacies use NPPES to match claims, and mail to an old address can lead CMS to deactivate a record.
Can't sign in?
Use the I&A account recovery on the NPPES sign-in page. If you need help, the NPI Enumerator answers at 1-800-465-3203 or customerserviceNPIenumerator@cms.hhs.gov.
Updating your NPPES record does not update Medicare enrollment. Change PECOS separately.
