Definition
Orientation and Mobility (O&M) specialists teach children and adults who have visual impairments the specific orientation skills used to find one's way in the environment and the mobility skills needed to travel safely and efficiently at home, school, work, and in the community. Instruction is usually provided one-on-one and can include skills such as how to use a long cane, the operation of low vision devices and electronic travel aids when appropriate, how to orient oneself to new environments, navigate public transportation systems, how to cross streets safely, and traveling by using hearing, remaining vision, and other senses. In addition, O&M Specialists help children to develop fundamental skills such as fine and gross motor skills, concept development and problem solving skills. Adult clients can also benefit from an O&M specialist evaluating their current use of travel-related skills, discussing their future goals, and helping them select a program of instruction that will allow them to reach their greatest travel potential.

Where 225CX0006X sits
- Group: Respiratory, Developmental, Rehabilitative and Restorative Service Providers — code 50 of 82 in the group
- Classification: Rehabilitation Counselor 225C00000X
- Specialization: Orientation and Mobility Training Provider 225CX0006X
Choose 225CX0006X over the general Rehabilitation Counselor code (225C00000X) when the provider's training or certification is specifically in orientation and mobility training provider; 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
225CX0006X has no entry in the CMS Medicare Provider and Supplier Taxonomy Crosswalk. That usually means Medicare does not enroll this kind of provider under its own specialty — the provider can still hold an NPI and use this code on claims to other payers.

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.
