Maxillofacial Surgery: Medicare enrollment by state

Taxonomy codes for maxillofacial surgery

CMS's crosswalk maps 1 NUCC taxonomy code to Medicare specialty 85. A provider enrolling as maxillofacial surgery should hold one of them as the primary taxonomy on their NPI.

Where it is concentrated

Raw counts follow population, so the more telling figure is each state's share: what fraction of the state's Medicare-enrolled NPIs are maxillofacial surgery. Nationally the specialty is 0% of enrolled NPIs. The highest shares are in Michigan (0.1%), Pennsylvania (0.1%), Minnesota (0.1%); the lowest in Arkansas (0%), Rhode Island (0%), Montana (0%). 48 of the 51 (50 states and DC) have at least one enrolled.

Billing versus order-and-refer enrollment

Medicare enrolls practitioners in two ways. A full enrollment lets the provider bill Medicare for their own services; it is what the 1,083 above count. An order-and-refer-only enrollment lets a provider who never bills Medicare — a resident, a VA or military physician, a dentist ordering imaging — still order tests, equipment and referrals that Medicare pays for. 324 maxillofacial surgery NPIs hold that limited enrollment.

Every state

Counts are unique NPIs enrolled in each state; a provider enrolled in two states counts in both. The share is of all Medicare-enrolled NPIs in that state.
