CMS (formerly HCFA) SPECIALTY CODES/HEALTHCARE PROVIDER TAXONOMY

This table reflects Medicare Specialty Codes as of December 31, 2001.

This table reflects Healthcare Provider Taxonomy Codes as of December 31, 2001.

An asterisk (*) with Healthcare Provider Taxonomy Code indicates an organizational provider. CMS codes in parentheses were discontinued and were crosswalked to active CMS codes shown in the same cells. CMS codes 71 - 75 were discontinued in May 1992 and were not crosswalked to active codes. CMS codes 71 and 72 were re-used by CMS for two new specialties in 2001.

Changes to either code set will necessitate updating this document.
