MediSeek Recaster

Recaster transforms the CMS.GOV NPPES raw data file in CSV format - to a relational database on a server you maintain control over - whether hosted or on premise.

MediSeek Recaster is written using Microsoft C# and runs on Windows 10 or 11, and most Windows Server versions.

We wrote an in-depth article about the NPPES database here.

Using MediSeek Recaster

Recaster is all point-and-click.

It does not require a skilled database administrator to operate Recaster.

The user does need permission to create a database, create tables, create indexes, and read write permissions to records in the tables. Beyond these permissions, decent computer skills can run MediSeek Recaster.

In just a minute or two, anyone can start the entire transformation process, from a CSV file to a hydrated relational database. There are only a few point and click actions to get the transformation process rolling. It's all guided by a workflow.
