We use a standard software package used by many other payers for processing
claims. Our vendor has chosen to only include the provider taxonomy code as
a "static" field in the provider contract table, rather than accepting the
code as billed by the provider on an 837. Therefore, we can only assign a
taxonomy code to a claim in our database by a relational link rather than
having the taxonomy code stored on the claim itself. I would like to hear
what others think about the acceptability of this approach as opposed to
requiring that the our database accept whatever taxonomy code a provider
chooses to submit on the 837.
