Are NPI numbers public?

Yes. NPI numbers are public federal identifiers in CMS NPPES. This page shows the public NPPES facts Fonteum has for NPI 1740685593: provider name, entity type, taxonomy, practice location, enumeration date, last-updated date, and source snapshot date. It does not include patient information.

What does the NPI record show for Chioma Okekpe?

Chioma Okekpe (NPI 1740685593) appears in CMS NPPES as OB-GYN in Colton, CA. NPPES is administrative identity data submitted to CMS by providers and organizations; this page displays the source snapshot date as 2026-05-06.

Does this page assign a provider score?

No derived score is assigned on this provider page. NPPES is an identity registry; when a CMS QPP MIPS value is available, Fonteum displays that public CMS value with its source, and absence of a MIPS value is not a quality signal.

Does no exclusion match amount to a clearance?

Coverage is indeterminate, so this page makes no negative exclusion determination. This is not a clearance; check the current issuing-agency lists.

Where does the provider data come from?

The identity fields come from CMS NPPES. Additional sections appear only when a public source has a matching row, such as CMS PECOS, CMS Open Payments, Medicare Part D, CMS QPP MIPS, OIG LEIE, or state Medicaid exclusion lists. Source and date metadata appears where the response supplies it; unavailable dates are labeled.

Reproducible by design

Published figures name their source and date.

Source and date

Published research identifies its government file and observation date. Source-file SHA-256 coverage is disclosed separately; facts do not currently link deterministically to signatures.

Reproducible SQL

Each study ships the exact query behind its figures, run against the same dated copy of the federal file we used. Re-run it yourself.

Daily observations

The platform records table row counts daily. Those observations detect local drift; they do not imply that an upstream publisher released or Fonteum ingested new data that day.
