Understand
The Importance of Taxonomy Usage
Importance of Taxonomy Code(s)
Best Practice
– Taxonomy codes are national codes providers use to indicate their
specialties when submitting claims.
– Reporting the correct National Provider Identifier (NPI) and taxonomy
combination ensures that claims—both paper and electronic 837
transactions—are processed under the correct service location and
provider type.
– Submitting the proper billing provider ZIP Code + 4 and taxonomy
code that are on file with the Indiana Health Coverage Programs
(IHCP) identifies your billing provider office location.
•
27
A provider may have multiple service locations or provider types that use the same
NPI.

Importance of Taxonomy Code(s)
Best Practice
– When an erroneous NPI and taxonomy combination is entered on the
claim, it can cause claims to deny, or to report to the wrong service
location or provider type.
– Providers are encouraged to check with their vendors and
clearinghouses to ensure the correct taxonomy is being submitted on
their claims.
– To find out what taxonomy is linked to your NPI for your service
locations, go to the PROVIDER PROFILE on Web interChange and
choose the Specialty tab for each of your locations.

Top Call Center Inquiries
• Manual pricing … what is and is not acceptable documentation?
• BR201206 explains what constitutes acceptable documentation of MSRP and how
claims are reimbursed if the MSRP is not available for a manually priced medical
supply or DME procedure code.
• How do you determine who the accounts receivable (A/R) is for on a

• Why do claims deny for edit 6652 – Multiple surgeries must be billed on same
claim?

previously paid.

To request payment for additional surgical procedures, replace the original paid ICN
via Web interChange so the appropriate multiple surgery reduction can be applied.
