Medicaid Implements Required Taxonomy Code Updates

Turquoise Care has implemented required updates to taxonomy codes for provider Medicaid enrollment and Medicaid claims processing. These updates are in conjunction with the launch of the enhanced Medicaid Portal/Presumptive Eligibility Enrollment System.

The code updates from the National Uniform Claim Committee ensure standardized identification of provider specialties across all payers.

Your next steps: Providers should enroll with Medicaid and submit claims using the correct billing taxonomy code assigned to your provider type. The updated taxonomy document is available for download on the Medicaid Portal.
