Search Tips:

When searching for a provider enter as much information as possible. A provider’s City, County, or Zip Code is very useful in narrowing your search results.

The beginning part of a provider’s Business name or Personal name can always be used to narrow your search results.

If the Provider belongs to a Group Practice, the beginning part of the Group Practice name can be used to find all providers in that specific Group Practice.

It is sometimes helpful to change the Number of Results per page to a higher number such as 100 providers per page.

For Provider Categories that have a large number of providers, the Provider Specialty is useful for additional filtering. After selecting the Provider Category, click on the Provider Specialty drop down to select a specialty specifically for the selected provider category.

When searching by Provider NPI, your search is more precise and will typically return a smaller, more targeted set of results.
