NUCC definition

A pediatrician is concerned with the physical, emotional and social health of children from birth to young adulthood.

A pediatrician deals with biological, social and environmental influences on the developing child, and with the impact of disease and dysfunction on development.

Choosing a taxonomy code

Providers can list up to 15 taxonomy codes on their NPI record and must mark one as primary. Payers often check that the taxonomy code on a claim matches the one on the NPI record, so a mismatch is a common reason for denials.
