About the NCPDP Pharmacy Database

The NCPDP Provider Identification Number (NCPDP Provider ID) formerly known as the NABP number, was developed over twenty-five years ago to provide pharmacies with a unique, national identifier that would assist pharmacies in their interactions with pharmacy payers and claims processors. The NCPDP Provider ID is a seven-digit numbering system that is assigned to every licensed pharmacy and qualified Non-Pharmacy Dispensing Sites (NPDS) in the United States.

The NCPDP Pharmacy Database contains over 70,000 pharmacies. NCPDP currently maintains and updates information on the NCPDP Pharmacy Database.

To Obtain an NCPDP Provider ID and/or NPI

Please visit this page to obtain the NCPDP Standard Form that you may fill out and fax back to NCPDP in order to apply for a new NCPDP Provider ID, obtain an NPI, or to make changes to your existing information.

Non-Pharmacy Dispensing Sites

NCPDP also enumerates licensed dispensing sites in the United States as part of its Non-Pharmacy Dispensing Site Numbering System (NPDS). The purpose of this system is to enable a site to identify itself to prescription drug benefit claim processors.

Subscribing to the Pharmacy Database

The NCPDP Pharmacy Database is currently licensed by many claims processors, health plans, pharmaceutical manufacturers, health informatics companies, clearinghouses and others.

The Pharmacy Database is also available through licensed NCPDP distributors for mailings and other list related purposes.
