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.

The provider has delivered many of the services listed below to Medicare patients. Please note that this list does not include services provided to patients who are not covered by Medicare.
Antithrombin iii antigen (clotting inhibitor) activity
Beta 2 glycoprotein 1 antibody (autoantibody) measurement
Blood test, clotting time
Cardiolipin antibody (tissue antibody) measurement
Clotting factor viii (ahg) measurement
Clotting factor x assessment test, diluted
Phospholipid test
Protein c antigen (clotting inhibitor) measurement
Protein s (clotting inhibitor) measurement
Thrombin time, fibrinogen screening test, plasma
Thromboplastin inhibition (circulating anticoagulant) measurement
Antithrombin III antigen activity is a test that measures the level of Antithrombin, a protein in your blood that helps prevent clots from forming excessively. It's crucial for maintaining healthy blood flow. If levels are abnormal, it might indicate a clotting disorder.
This service was performed 12 times for 12 patientsThe Beta 2 Glycoprotein 1 Antibody measurement is a blood test that helps detect certain autoantibodies. These autoantibodies can cause blood clots or pregnancy complications. The test aids in diagnosing conditions like antiphospholipid syndrome.
This service was performed 63 times for 21 patientsA clotting time blood test helps determine how quickly your blood forms clots, a process crucial to stop bleeding. During the test, a small blood sample is taken from your arm. The sample is then analyzed in a lab to see how long it takes for a clot to form.
This service was performed 23 times for 23 patientsCardiolipin antibody measurement is a blood test that checks for certain antibodies in your body. These antibodies might be present if you have an autoimmune disease, a condition where your body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells. This test helps in diagnosing and managing such conditions.
This service was performed 48 times for 23 patientsClotting Factor VIII (AHG) measurement is a blood test to check the levels of Factor VIII, a protein that helps blood to clot. This test is often used to diagnose and manage bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia A. Low levels may indicate a risk of excessive bleeding.
This service was performed 24 times for 24 patientsThe Clotting Factor X Assessment Test, diluted, is a blood test to evaluate the performance of Factor X, a protein vital for blood clotting. It helps identify any abnormalities which could lead to excessive bleeding or clotting.
This service was performed 20 times for 20 patientsA phospholipid test is a blood test that helps detect abnormal antibodies related to your immune system. These antibodies may increase the risk of blood clots. The test aids in diagnosing conditions like lupus and other autoimmune disorders.
This service was performed 20 times for 20 patientsThe Protein C Antigen measurement is a blood test that assesses the level of Protein C, a natural substance that prevents clot formation. This test helps diagnose conditions related to abnormal clotting and can guide treatment plans.
This service was performed 11 times for 11 patientsProtein S measurement is a blood test that helps determine your body's ability to prevent excessive clotting. It's crucial for maintaining balanced blood flow. If Protein S levels are too low, it may increase the risk of developing harmful blood clots.
This service was performed 13 times for 12 patientsThrombin time is a blood test that measures how long it takes for a clot to form in your blood. The fibrinogen screening test checks the level of fibrinogen, a protein that helps in clot formation. Plasma is the liquid part of your blood that carries cells and proteins.
This service was performed 20 times for 20 patientsThromboplastin Inhibition Measurement is a blood test that helps determine how well your body's clotting process is working. It checks for substances that may prevent your blood from clotting, which could lead to excessive bleeding.

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 1306489323, we treat the final digit (3) 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 67. The final step is to find the difference between that total and the next multiple of ten (70 - 67 = 3).
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 67 is 70. The difference is the calculated check digit.
