This application is adapted from the NPPES National Provider Identifier (NPI) Registry Website (https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/).
This application is implemented using Elixir and HTML with the Phoenix framework, and it also uses PostgreSQL for the database.
The data sources for this application come from the NPPES official website and the National Uniform Claim Committee:
