Individual One-Time Query and Continuous Query are Merging into NPDB Query
On December 4, 2026, the NPDB will release NPDB Query, merging the Individual One-Time Query and Continuous Query services. Visit the NPDB Query Merger page for details to learn how you can best prepare for NPDB Query in December.
For previously submitted Individual One-Time Queries you can now Export a File of Individual One-Time Query Subjects and Import the File as new Continuous Query Enrollments. In December, Continuous Query enrollments will automatically transfer to NPDB Query enrollments.
One-Time Query
Submitting a One-Time Query will include all NPDB information on the queried practitioner or organization. You may query up to 1,000 practitioners and/or organizations at a time.
Alternately, you may use Continuous Query, which provides ongoing monitoring and alerts you to updates and new reports.
How to Get Started
First, verify that you are an eligible and registered organization. Then, go to the NPDB website, sign in, and select Query. Complete the query form. You may use the online instructions to guide you through the querying process.
What Happens Next
Once you submit a query, you will receive the official query response electronically in PDF format. The response will show all available NPDB report information. Your query response is only available for download or printing for 45 days from the process date.
Note: Corrections cannot be made to a One-Time Query.
Fees
The current fee for each query is $2.50 per queried practitioner or organization.
