— NUCC Health Care Provider Taxonomy, version 26.1

Where 3418M1110X sits

• Group: Transportation Services — code 9 of 17 in the group
• Classification: Military/U.S. Coast Guard Transport 341800000X
• Specialization: Military or U.S. Coast Guard Ambulance, Ground Transport 3418M1110X

Choose 3418M1110X over the general Military/U.S. Coast Guard Transport code (341800000X) when the provider's training or certification is specifically in military or u.s. coast guard ambulance, ground transport; 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

3418M1110X 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 — organizations of this type enroll, if at all, under a facility or supplier type rather than a practitioner specialty.

Using 3418M1110X

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.
