CMS has awarded four contracts for companies to help establish a national healthcare provider directory.
The agency granted the $1 awards Sept. 30 to Availity, the Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare, Palantir and Gainwell Technologies for “proof of concepts for the development of the national provider directory.” The contracts expire Nov. 13.
“The National Provider Directory project, part of the administration’s Make Health Tech Great Again initiative, is the long-term solution to these broader data accuracy issues,” an HHS spokesperson told Becker’s.
“That effort, which is currently underway, will create a modern, national, interoperable source of truth for provider information. CMS is working in close collaboration with the private sector and other stakeholders, and the project will be delivered in multiple phases over the next year.”
