Florida Healthcare Provider Overview

Healthcare in Florida is served by a network of providers across major cities including Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Fort Lauderdale, St. Petersburg. Florida providers span all medical specialties — from primary care physicians and family medicine to specialized surgical centers, behavioral health providers, and long-term care facilities. All providers who accept insurance, bill Medicare or Medicaid, or participate in electronic health record systems are listed in the NPPES NPI registry with active NPI records.

Florida Medical Board

The Florida Board of Medicine is the state regulatory authority that issues and oversees medical licenses in Florida. For license status verification, disciplinary actions, and medical board certification, visit the official website at https://flboardofmedicine.gov. While this NPI lookup tool confirms a provider's federal NPPES enrollment, state license verification through the Florida Board of Medicine is a separate but equally important step in complete provider credential verification. Both NPPES and state board data should be checked during credentialing workflows.

Common Healthcare Specialties in Florida

Healthcare providers in Florida cover the full spectrum of medical specialties. The most commonly registered specialties in the NPPES registry for Florida include internal medicine, family medicine, general surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, cardiology, orthopedics, psychiatry, neurology, and radiology. Florida also has significant numbers of advanced practice nurses (NPs, CRNAs, CNMs), physician assistants, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and clinical psychologists — all of whom have NPI records in NPPES.

NPI Lookup for Florida Medicaid and Medicare

Verifying NPI enrollment for Florida providers who participate in state Medicaid or federal Medicare programs requires checking multiple databases. This NPPES tool provides the foundational identity verification. For Florida Medicaid enrollment, check with the state Medicaid agency directly. For Medicare enrollment, use the CMS PECOS system (see our PECOS NPI Lookup tool). For DEA prescribing authority verification for Florida providers, see our DEA License Lookup by NPI tool.
