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.

Classification: Dentist
Taxonomy Code: 122300000X
Type: Dental Providers
License No.: 6658
License State: AZ
Taxonomy Description: A dentist is a person qualified by a doctorate in dental surgery (D.D.S.) or dental medicine (D.M.D.), licensed by the state to practice dentistry, and practicing within the scope of that license. There is no difference between the two degrees: dentists who have a DMD or DDS have the same education. Universities have the prerogative to determine what degree is awarded. Both degrees use the same curriculum requirements set by the American Dental Association's Commission on Dental Accreditation. Generally, three or more years of undergraduate education plus four years of dental school is required to graduate and become a general dentist. State licensing boards accept either degree as equivalent, and both degrees allow licensed individuals to practice the same scope of general dentistry. Additional post-graduate training is required to become a dental specialist.

NPI Validation Check Digit Calculation

The following table explains the step by step NPI number validation process using the ISO standard Luhn algorithm.

Start with the original NPI number, the last digit is the check digit and is not used in the calculation.
1	5	5	8	5	7	1	5	7	0
Step 1: Double the value of the alternate digits, beginning with the rightmost digit.
2	5	10	8	10	7	2	5	14
Step 2: Add all the doubled and unaffected individual digits from step 1 plus the constant number 24.
2 + 5 + 1 + 0 + 8 + 1 + 0 + 7 + 2 + 5 + 1 + 4 + 24 = 60
Step 3: because the number obtained in step 2 ends in zero, the check digit is zero.
									0

The NPI number 1558571570 is valid because the calculated check digit 0 using the Luhn validation algorithm matches the last digit of the original NPI number.
