The National Plan and Provider Enumeration System is the registry every healthcare provider in the United States must join to bill insurance. It is public domain, it is enormous, and it is published as a 9 GB text file that almost nobody reads. This site keeps a current copy and makes it answerable.

Every provider on this site is registered with CMS. That is not the same as practising: the registry has no field for retirement, and a record only disappears when someone deactivates it, which many never do. A practice address tells you where a clinician is based, not everywhere they are licensed — someone practising by video may hold licences in a dozen states and appear here under one.
What it is very good for is counting. How many of a specialty exist, where they are, how that has changed, and which places have almost none. That is what Data Labs does.
