West Virginia Providers by Specialty, FacilityType, and State

Provider Taxonomy Codes (specialty and facility types) are 10-character codes that are self-selected by the provider to designate their classification and specialization. The codes do not identify specific services rendered, but rather, they are related to the provider's education and training for particular specializations. Providers may report up to 15 taxonomies on their NPI record. In CarePrecise datasets, the provider's taxonomy code(s) and licenses associated with those codes are in a table that also indicates the primary taxonomy. The industry-standard Provider Taxonomy Code Set is updated annually in January with new or changed codes. Updates go into effect on April 1. Providers must update their selected taxonomy codes when they change. There are two special taxonomy codes that are used to identify practice groups – 193200000X identifies multi-specialty groups (groups having members with multiple taxonomies), and 193400000X identifies single-specialty groups (groups having members with a single taxonomy); these codes are not found in the counts shown here. Where licenses are required to be reported for a particular Taxonomy, the NPI enumeration system prompts the provider for the license number. Full details on codes may be found here.
