NCPDP’s robust prescriber database, HCIdea, is now powered by H1’s trusted provider data to help NCPDP members reduce costs and drive health IT innovation

NEW YORK, April 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — H1, the connecting force for global healthcare provider, clinical, science, and research information, today announced that the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP) has selected H1’s provider data to power its prescriber database, HCIdea^®. NCPDP’s HCIdea Prescriber Database was developed in response to NCPDP members’ needs to combat the risks of inaccurate data for providers with prescriptive authority data, that include failed audits, fines, delayed payments, and poor patient outcomes. HCIdea is the go-to choice for the industry’s most comprehensive and reliable prescriber information.

NCPDP’s HCIdea is now powered by H1, which continually contributes and updates provider data including name, gender, NPI, licenses, birth date, address, contact information, education, training, and more to be readily accessible.

“We continuously seek to improve the robustness, accuracy, and accessibility of data to maintain HCIdea as the industry’s premier source for comprehensive and reliable prescriber information,” explained Lee Ann Stember, NCPDP’s President & CEO. “After a thorough evaluation process, we selected H1 for its national coverage, profile depth, flexibility, and integrity to be our trustworthy provider data partner.”

Drawing from over 4,000 diverse sources and using a combination of automation, machine learning, and human intervention, H1 provides comprehensive and reliable prescriber profiles for over 3.7 million Type I and Type II providers. Additionally, H1 has resolved gaps in license data. By partnering with H1, NCPDP is offering its HCIdea subscribers a way to access the right data at the right time on the right prescribers to reduce costs and risks associated with inaccurate data.

“At H1, our mission is to connect the world to the right doctors. To make that possible, healthcare organizations need access to updated provider information on a daily basis. We are honored that NCPDP selected H1 as its new data partner and feel that it validates our ability to provide the most accurate prescriber information possible,” said Ariel Katz, CEO and co-founder, H1. “Like NCPDP, H1 is committed to creating innovative solutions that improve the lives of the communities we serve.
