Providers Now Able to Terminate Suspended Taxonomies

Due to a recent update in the NCTracks system, providers may now select and terminate a taxonomy on their record in suspension status if the provider deems the taxonomy as no longer applicable to services rendered. Previously, providers were not able to terminate a suspended taxonomy until it was systematically terminated from lack of provider response. 

To terminate a suspended taxonomy, the provider should initiate an NCTracks Manage Change Request (MCR) and navigate to the Taxonomy Classification page: 

  1. Select the Edit button for the taxonomy
  2. Click the End Date It checkbox
  3. Select a reason for the termination from the drop-down menu
  4. Enter an end date 
  5. Click the Save button

Once a taxonomy is terminated, it may only be reinstated by submitting an MCR to add the taxonomy with the appropriate begin date. Therefore, providers are advised to carefully select the specific taxonomy that is no longer needed when deciding to terminate so as to not select an incorrect taxonomy.
