The National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) requires a Taxonomy Code for an NPI application to be processed. Where do I get the Taxonomy information?

The NPPES has multiple screens that provide for selection of a provider type code and classification name / area of specialization. Certain taxonomy selections will require you to enter your license number and the state where the license was issued. A list of taxonomy selections that require license information is supplied by the application. There are also NPI Application Help screens to assist you.
