NUCC definition

(1) A person with specialized training in a narrow field of expertise whose occupation requires training and is skilled in specific technical processes and procedures. (2) An individual having special skill or practical knowledge in an area, such as operation and maintenance of equipment or performance of laboratory procedures involving biochemical analyses. Special technical qualifications are normally required, though an increasing number or technicians also possess university degrees in science, and occasionally doctorate degrees. The distinction between technician and technologist in the health care field is not always clear.

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.
