As I work my way through the NPI, I am confused about three sections of the system:
Health Information Exchange (endpoints)
Endpoint and identifiers are optional please move to the next step. We do not want to enroll in the reporting.
Other Identifiers
It’s optional, move to the next step.
Taxonomy
This varies. You can review the different codes on the following website: https://taxonomy.nucc.org/ and the recommendation is to use your license/credentials and job title to select your response.
Some examples are:
LPC: 101YP2500X- Professional Counselor, LCSW: 1041C0700X -Clinical Social Worker
