Identify the taxonomy to use for “Specialty Type”. Otherwise, it’s hard to search by specialty across issuers and providers.
- The most obvious option is the “Healthcare Provider Taxonomy Code Set” maintained by NUCC and used by NPPES. (As a symptom of this problem, note that the Network Adequacy Template uses yet another vocabulary of specialties.)
