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: Physician Assistant
Taxonomy Code: 363A00000X
Type: Physician Assistants & Advanced Practice Nursing Providers
License No.: PA17308
License State: CA
Taxonomy Description: A physician assistant is a person who has successfully completed an accredited education program for physician assistant, is licensed by the state and is practicing within the scope of that license. Physician assistants are formally trained to perform many of the routine, time-consuming tasks a physician can do. In some states, they may prescribe medications. They take medical histories, perform physical exams, order lab tests and x-rays, and give inoculations. Most states require that they work under the supervision of a physician.

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	8	2	1	0	4	1	5	0	0
Step 1: Double the value of the alternate digits, beginning with the rightmost digit.
2	8	4	1	0	4	2	5	0
Step 2: Add all the doubled and unaffected individual digits from step 1 plus the constant number 24.
2 + 8 + 4 + 1 + 0 + 4 + 2 + 5 + 0 + 24 = 50
Step 3: because the number obtained in step 2 ends in zero, the check digit is zero.
									0

The NPI number 1821041500 is valid because the calculated check digit 0 using the Luhn validation algorithm matches the last digit of the original NPI number.
