The NPPES (National Plan and Provider Enumeration System) was formed as a response to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 which stated that both health care providers and health plans are to be assigned standardized unique identifiers. The CMS has created the NPPES in order to do exactly that.
