Add Taxonomies
Use this step to add the appropriate Provider taxonomies. The System uses these codes to identify required information on the basic information page.
Note: The Healthcare Provider Taxonomy Code Set is a hierarchical code set that consists of codes, descriptions, and definitions. These Taxonomy Codes are designed to categorize the type, classification, and/or specialization of health care Providers. The System responds to these codes throughout the application process to ensure the required information is collected.
