UHC message: "Rendering Provider's specialty/taxonomy code. H52002 Rendering Provider Specialty Code '1720117633' not found in Taxonomy Code Table"
What does this mean? I fixed the incorrect address and thought this would help but my claims are still getting rejected. Would it help to mail them in? Has anyone gotten this message from UHC before?

Dr. Lea,
Here's the response I got from someone:
In this case, it seems that these errors are coming from the rendering provider taxonomy information in box 24j of the claim. Although taxonomy information isn't visible on the section of the claim form unless downloaded, there is information pulled from your account and sent over to the payer on the back end data of the claim pertaining to the rendering provider's taxonomy code.
I took a look at your account and can see that the taxonomy code field under Settings > My Profile > Clinical is the same value as your NPI. This is likely the cause of the rejections. Please update your rendering taxonomy information in this section of your account.
If you need help finding your taxonomy codes, you can take a look at this guide: How do I find my Taxonomy Code? It may also be helpful in this case to reach out to the payer to verify what rendering taxonomy code they have on file and expect to see attached to your NPI on claims.
Please keep in mind that the rendering taxonomy code is not visible to you, but it is being sent over to the payer. If you want to verify that the correct information is being sent in box 24j, you can download the claim. The downloaded version of the claim does show you the rendering provider taxonomy code in box 24j.
Once complete, you can delete the rejected claims, create a new claim, and submit it as an original. I recommend downloading a copy of the original claim and making note of the Clearinghouse Reference # before deleting the claim. This way, you can store this for your records in case there's any timely filing issues. Here's how: Storing client documents.
