Electronic claims

Please make sure to follow the data entry instructions for including the taxonomy code(s) in your electronic claims. It is important to contact your payer to find out the specific taxonomy requirements.

Billing Provider

Navigate to the Physician Library and open the Billing Provider library entry. Then, simply add the taxonomy code in the Taxonomy Code field. By following these steps, you will successfully include the taxonomy code in Loop 2000A.

Rendering Provider

If you are using a Rendering Provider, you can simply go to the Rendering Provider library entry and add the taxonomy code in the Taxonomy Code field. This will automatically include the taxonomy code in Loop 2310B.

Navigate to the Payer Library by clicking the icon in the top ribbon bar and open the specific payer that requires the taxonomy code.

If you have multiple payers, please repeat this step for each payer.

Open the Payer entry and select the third checkbox that says "Export Billing provider taxonomy code even if using a rendering provider"

Note: If payers require the taxonomy code for Billing Loop 2000A in your ANSI file, it is recommended to send claims in a separate batch. This is necessary due to the way data is compiled in the standard ANSI 837 file.

Paper Claims

When you need to include a taxonomy code for a paper claim in Rendering Box 24J or Billing Box 33B, simply enter the taxonomy code in the Additional ID Numbers section using the ZZ-Taxonomy ID Type.

This can be done in the appropriate (Billing or Rendering) Physician/Facility library entry.
