111NR0200X Radiology Chiropractor

Definition

Chiropractic radiology is a referral specialty that provides consultation services at the request of other qualified doctors. Chiropractic radiologists provide consultation in health care facilities (private offices, hospitals and teaching institutions) to meet the needs of referring doctors and their patients. The quality of the consultative services by the chiropractic radiologist in independent practice is reflected by the quality of their professional credentials. Chiropractic radiologists recommend, supervise, and interpret radiologic studies as well as advanced imaging procedures. They advise referring physicians on the necessity and appropriateness of radiologic services and whether to select or to avoid certain diagnostic or clinical procedures. In some instances the radiologist may act as a private practitioner. They may conduct research and apply diagnostic radiologic procedures and may be called upon to act as expert witnesses in matters of litigation.<br/>Chiropractic radiologists are also concerned with imaging technology including image production, demonstration of normal and abnormal anatomy, and the interaction of energy and matter. The advances in the technological facets of radiology are so rapid that only qualified radiologists can reasonably be expected to maintain the high level of proficiency required to supervise and interpret these procedures. The practice of radiology continuously involves the application of this technology to patient imaging and treatment. It is now well recognized that chiropractic radiology includes, but is not limited to, plain film radiography, fluoroscopy, tomography, ultrasonography, radioisotope imaging, computed tomography, digital radiography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Individual practices may vary by intent, licensure, and scope of practice laws.

Where 111NR0200X sits

• Group: Chiropractic Providers — code 9 of 12 in the group
• Classification: Chiropractor 111N00000X
• Specialization: Radiology 111NR0200X

Choose 111NR0200X over the general Chiropractor code (111N00000X) when the provider's training or certification is specifically in radiology; the general code covers the classification as a whole. A provider may report more than one taxonomy code on an NPI but marks one as primary.

Medicare

CMS's taxonomy crosswalk links 111NR0200X to Medicare specialty 35 (Chiropractic). That specialty — not the taxonomy code itself — is what Medicare enrollment records and uses for payment. 45,873 practitioners are enrolled under it nationally, and 11 other taxonomy codes map to the same specialty.

Other codes under the same Medicare specialty: 111N00000X Chiropractor; 111NI0013X Independent Medical Examiner Chiropractor; 111NI0900X Internist Chiropractor; 111NN0400X Neurology Chiropractor; 111NN1001X Nutrition Chiropractor; 111NP0017X Pediatric Chiropractor; 111NR0400X Rehabilitation Chiropractor; 111NS0005X Sports Physician Chiropractor; and 3 more.

Similar codes in other groups

If 111NR0200X is not quite right, these codes in other groups share a word with it — often the same field practised by a different kind of provider:

• 2085R0202X Diagnostic Radiology Physician (Allopathic & Osteopathic Physicians)
• 2085N0904X Nuclear Radiology Physician (Allopathic & Osteopathic Physicians)
• 2085P0229X Pediatric Radiology Physician (Allopathic & Osteopathic Physicians)

Using 111NR0200X

The code goes in the taxonomy field of the NPI application in NPPES, and on claims where a payer asks for it — box 24J (shaded) or 33b on the CMS-1500 with the ZZ qualifier, or the PRV segment of an 837 electronic claim. Payers match it against the taxonomy on the NPI record and, for Medicare, against the specialty on the enrollment, so all three should agree. To see which code a provider uses, search their NPI in the lookup.
