Taxonomy Code Requested on Claim Submissions

The Office of fb88Care Services (OMS) is requesting that providers include the taxonomy code on all claims. The taxonomy code is necessary for the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) to collect data for Transformed Medicaid Statistical Information System (T-MSIS) reporting. This data helps to inform states of their current standing in data quality as compared to other states and is crucial for research and policy on Medicaid and CHIP and helping the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) conduct program oversight, administration, and integrity. 

The taxonomy code can be reported on each claim in the following fields for each type of submission: 

Electronic Claim Submissions:

837P - CMS 1500

Rendering provider – Loop 2310B Segment PRV03. Billing provider - Loop 2000A Segment PRV03.
