New Pharmacy Database

Considered the “gold standard” throughout the industry, the NCPDP Pharmacy Database acts as the enumerator of the legacy NCPDP Provider ID Number (formerly NABP Number). The NCPDP Pharmacy Database is a comprehensive database that houses demographic, relationship and licensing information for nearly 74,000 pharmacies within the United States and its territories and is the industry’s most comprehensive pharmacy NPI crosswalk tool. NCPDP works closely with CMS acting as the only EFIO (Electronic File Interchange Organization) for pharmacy, enumerating and updating pharmacies directly with the NPPES system.

The Future

In May 2008 the next generation of the NCPDP Pharmacy Database product will be available. It will offer pharmacies more access and control over their own information, with the ability to update and view their data in a real-time online environment. Based on requests throughout industry, subscribers to the product will have more robust subscription options such as real-time access to data and customizable reporting.

NCPDP believes that the enhancement is only a step on the evolutionary path of their trusted database that began over two decades ago.
