🟢verify_npi_numbers(providers)
Use this when the user wants an npi lookup, verify npi number, bulk npi lookup or npi taxonomy code lookup for credentialing. Reads live public registry records, checks optional expected names, states and taxonomies, and returns Excel and CSV downloads. Up to 40 NPIs per call; check digits cannot prove issuance. Do not use for patient records or proof of licensure.
