Where 207UN0902X sits
- Group: Allopathic & Osteopathic Physicians — code 87 of 238 in the group
- Classification: Nuclear Medicine 207U00000X
- Specialization: Nuclear Imaging & Therapy 207UN0902X
Choose 207UN0902X over the general Nuclear Medicine code (207U00000X) when the provider's training or certification is specifically in nuclear imaging & therapy; 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 207UN0902X to Medicare specialty 36 (Physician/Nuclear Medicine). That specialty — not the taxonomy code itself — is what Medicare enrollment records and uses for payment. 738 practitioners are enrolled under it nationally, and 4 other taxonomy codes map to the same specialty.
Other codes under the same Medicare specialty: 207U00000X Nuclear Medicine Physician; 207UN0901X Nuclear Cardiology Physician; 207UN0903X In Vivo & In Vitro Nuclear Medicine Physician; 2085N0904X Nuclear Radiology Physician.

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.
