Recommended Taxonomy Codes for National Provider Identifier (NPI) Mapping - Last Updated July 1, 2008
N.C. Medicaid has designed a mapping solution to crosswalk the NPI to the Medicaid Provider Number. Ideally, each NPI will crosswalk to only one Medicaid Provider Number. If the NPI crosswalks to multiple Medicaid Provider Numbers, the mapping solution will attempt to determine the appropriate Medicaid Provider Number by taking the claim through a series of steps. The taxonomy will play an important role in determining the appropriate Medicaid Provider Number to use for claim processing. Therefore, N.C. Medicaid strongly recommends that providers use the table below when choosing an appropriate taxonomy. This will assist N.C. Medicaid in crosswalking to the correct Medicaid Provider Number in the event the provider chooses not to apply for a unique NPI for each of its Medicaid Provider Numbers.
NOTE: The taxonomies recommended below are to be used for claims processing only. Providers are not required to change the taxonomy that was previously reported to NPPES or N.C. Medicaid Provider Enrollment. Currently, N.C. Medicaid does not compare the taxonomy submitted on claims to what was reported to Provider Enrollment or NPPES.
