NCTracks Updates from NPPES

National Plan & Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) creates and sends a weekly update file to NCTracks containing National Provider Identification (NPI) additions and updates. This file is loaded into NCTracks weekly. Based on the enumeration date, it may take up to four weeks for the NPI to be linked to NCTracks. NPI’s will not be visible or searchable by NCTracks staff if the provider has not used NCTracks to enroll in the NC Medicaid program. The only way to know if the NPI is available is to have the provider attempt the enrollment process. During the provider enrollment process on the NCTracks Website the provider may receive an error message that the NPI is invalid. If an error has occurred, please wait a week to see if the NPI is linked to NCTracks.
