Specialty - Primary Taxonomy
The NPI enumerator requires providers to submit at least one taxonomy code. A taxonomy code is a unique 10-character code that describes the healthcare provider type, classification, and the area of specialization. There could be only one primary taxonomy code per NPI record. For individual NPIs the license data is associated to the taxonomy code.

- Taxonomy Description
- (1) A clinical laboratory is a facility for the biological, microbiological, serological, chemical, immunohematological, hematological, biophysical, cytological, pathological, or other examination of materials derived from the human body for the purpose of providing information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of any disease or impairment of, human beings. These examinations also include procedures to determine, measure, or otherwise describe the presence or absence of various substances or organisms in the body. Facilities only collecting or preparing specimens (or both) or only serving as a mailing service and not performing testing are not considered clinical laboratories. (2) Any facility that examines materials from the human body for purposes of providing information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of any disease or impairment of, or the assessment of, the health of human beings. Typical divisions of a clinical laboratory include hematology, cytology, bacteriology, histology, biochemistry, medical toxicology, and serology.
Areas of Expertise

Genetic sequencing localization is a process to identify where specific genes are located in your DNA. During the initial procedure, a sample of your cells is collected, usually through a simple swab or blood test. This data is then analyzed to pinpoint the location of certain genes. This can help understand your genetic makeup and potential health risks.
This service was performed 31 times for 17 patientsMicroscopic genetic analysis of tissue is a procedure where a small sample of your body tissue is examined under a microscope. This is done to study the genes in your cells. If more than one procedure is needed, each additional one involves repeating this process. It's a key part of diagnosing and managing many health conditions.
This service was performed 13 times for 12 patientsMicroscopic genetic analysis of tissue is a test that examines your cells under a microscope. This helps to identify any genetic changes that could be causing health issues. It's the first step in a series of tests to pinpoint the root cause of your symptoms.
This service was performed 13 times for 12 patientsMicroscopic genetic analysis of a tumor involves examining your tumor's genes under a microscope. This helps identify specific genetic changes in the tumor cells. This information can aid in diagnosing, predicting disease progression, and determining the most effective treatment options.
This service was performed 21 times for 19 patientsMicroscopic genetic analysis of a tumor involves examining your tumor's genes under a microscope. This helps identify specific genetic changes in the tumor cells. This information can aid in diagnosing, predicting disease progression, and determining the most effective treatment options.
This service was performed 59 times for 47 patientsA molecular pathology procedure involves analyzing your body's cells at a molecular level to identify any abnormalities. This can help detect diseases early. A physician will interpret the results and provide a detailed report, explaining the findings clearly.

This service was performed 277 times for 217 patientsA pathology examination of tissue with intermediate complexity involves studying a small sample of your body tissue under a microscope. This helps in identifying any abnormal cells or signs of disease. It's a detailed process requiring expert analysis to ensure accurate results.
This service was performed 37 times for 29 patientsSpecial stained specimen slides are used to analyze tissue in detail. In this process, extra procedures may be needed for a more thorough examination. These involve applying special stains to the tissue on slides, enhancing specific elements for closer study.
This service was performed 502 times for 98 patientsThis procedure involves the use of specially stained slides to examine tissue samples. The initial process involves obtaining a small tissue sample from your body. This sample is then placed on a slide and stained with special dyes to highlight different structures and elements. The stained slide is then examined under a microscope to help diagnose any potential health issues.
This service was performed 133 times for 116 patientsA surgical pathology consultation involves the examination of tissue removed during surgery. The tissue is processed and slides are prepared for detailed study under a microscope. The findings are then compiled into a report to help guide your treatment plan.
This service was performed 54 times for 53 patientsA surgical pathology consultation involves reviewing slides prepared at a different lab to confirm or clarify a diagnosis. It's a second opinion to ensure accuracy. A report with findings and interpretations is then provided for your doctor's reference.
This service was performed 1,600 times for 1,542 patientsThis test examines your DNA to identify any genetic changes that could indicate a risk for blood-related cancers. It's a simple process where a sample of your blood or saliva is taken and sent to a lab for detailed examination.

NPI NPI Number Validation
How NPI Validation Works
The NPI validation process uses the ISO-standard Luhn algorithm, a mathematical "handshake", to ensure that a provider's 10-digit ID is authentic and free of common typing errors.
To verify the NPI 1174880629, we treat the final digit (9) as the Check Digit—the target answer we need to reach. The process begins by taking the first nine digits and adding a constant value of 24, which accounts for the "80840" prefix required for all U.S. health identifiers. We then double every other digit starting from the right and sum the individual digits of those results together. For this specific NPI, that total comes to 61. The final step is to find the difference between that total and the next multiple of ten (70 - 61 = 9).
Digit-by-digit view
Use the first nine digits for the calculation. Starting from the right, double every other digit. The last digit is the check digit and is not part of the calculation.
Step 1: Double every other digit from the right
Starting with the rightmost digit of the first nine digits, double every other value. If doubling creates a two-digit number, add those digits together.
Step 2: Add all digits plus the NPI constant
Add the transformed values, the unchanged digits, and the constant 24.
Step 3: Find the amount needed to reach the next multiple of 10
The next multiple of ten after 61 is 70. The difference is the calculated check digit.
