Healthcare practitioner taxonomy codes are a nonmedical set of data codes that’s released semiannually by the American Medical Association. They’re designed to be used in electronic systems, including transactions mandated by HIPPA.
Medical billing taxonomy codes are a 10 digit alphanumeric character set used to classify health care organizations in accordance to the primary services they provide. They’re copyrighted by the American medical Association and jointly published with the National Uniform Claim Committee. In addition, the Washington publishing company produces material that contain taxonomy codes and they also give taxonomy codes definitions on their website.
Taxonomy codes are crucial to Medicaid mapping. Each code is a representation of an organization’s type and services specialty. The goal of the mapping solution is to identify the appropriate MPN for provider claim adjudication. Consequently, Medicaid highly recommends that providers utilize the medical taxonomy codes table found on the DMA website when choosing a code for their organization.
Taxonomy codes consist of 10 alphanumeric characters always terminating with the letter "X." The first four alphanumeric characters indicate its Level 2 Classification. The five characters in the middle vary since they are dependent upon the Level 3 specialization.
The taxonomy code list is grouped into three distinct levels that include the Provider Type, Classification, and Specialization Area. Each higher code level represents a more specific taxonomy classification that an organization receives.
Level I, Provider Type — This is a high-level grouping of occupations were services provided by a healthcare practice. For instance, Dental Providers, Allopathic and Osteopathic Physicians, and Hospitals.
Level II, Classification — This is a more specific classification related to the Provider Type. For instance, the classification set aside for Allopathic & Osteopathic Physicians is based on the General Specialty Certificates issued by the national boards appropriate for that discipline.
Level III, Area of Specialization — This classification area is more specialized where a provider decides to offer services or practice. For instance, the specialization area for Allopathic & Osteopathic Physicians is based on the Subspecialty Certificates distributed by the national boards appropriate for that discipline.
