What are other states doing with their provider types that are either unmapped, or that are mapped to taxonomies that currently are without definition? Is there anything we can do? Most of us, I assume, have about 90% of our provider types mapped but MA is asking about the remainder. We're concerned not only with taxonomy with regard to getting the claim to adjudicate, but also for enrollment purposes. We aren't getting any new definitions to comment on from NMEH (because, I believe, they haven't received any from NUCC lately) and, per the NUCC website, Medicaid agencies aren't supposed to propose new definitions directly on the NUCC website. So does everyone have a few provider types without clean maps? Does anyone want to compare notes with Massachusetts?
For example, Massachusetts makes contract distinctions between the reimbursement rates for inpatient and outpatient hospitals. Do other states make similar distinctions? If so, how are they resolving that issue? Again, I'm not only speaking about getting claims to adjudicate - a provider number specific rate is feasible - but also about enrollment. What about the states' departments of public health or mental health? How are those being mapped? Thanks and please let me know if anyone wants to talk, I'd be more than happy to share what I've got so far. Andrea L.
