To update an NPI record, sign in to NPPES and submit the changed fields, or use CMS Form 10114 where paper filing applies. CMS's Unique Identifiers FAQ modified 2026-03-16 says covered providers must report address changes within 30 days. Fonteum cannot change NPPES records, and an update normally leaves the 10-digit NPI unchanged.

Scope and material limitation
This guide covers the CMS handoff for provider-submitted NPPES changes. It does not edit a record or decide which legal changes apply to a particular provider.
Dated source facts
Source-snapshot manifest receipt
This receipt attests the source snapshot manifest, not any individual fact.
The answer-series chain record is unsigned. It does not authenticate a person, organization, eligibility state, or individual fact.

Frequently asked questions
What’s on file, by the numbers
Platform snapshot · 2026-07-29
Integrated, with-data, and fresh-observation counts are separate. No platform-wide source-completeness count is published. Completeness is source-specific and must be evaluated against the named source's expected scope. State coverage is a separate jurisdiction measure.
Source authority is record-specific
Use the issuer named on the record.
Fonteum spans federal, state, and global public publishers. A source page or returned record identifies its issuer and dataset where that metadata is available. A platform registry count does not assign every page to one authority or establish loaded, fresh, or complete coverage.
Reproducible by design
Inspect the evidence each published figure actually supplies.
Source and date
Research pages expose the named public file and observation date where those fields are available. Source-file SHA-256 coverage is separate; facts do not currently link deterministically to signatures.
Available derivation
Studies with a retained release and committed derivation link the SQL or method used. Other studies state the evidence and reproduction limits they actually have.
Daily observations
Dated table row-count observations can detect local drift. They do not imply that an upstream publisher released or Fonteum ingested new data that day.
