As a contracted provider, please be advised that effective January 1, 2026, all claims submitted to WyoBlue Advantage must include a valid taxonomy code. Claims submitted without a valid taxonomy code will be automatically rejected and returned for correction.
This requirement applies to all claims, including those with a rendering provider.
We appreciate your continued partnership and commitment to compliance. Please reference the implementation details below:
- Taxonomy codes ensure accurate routing of claims based on provider specialty and practice type.
- Taxonomy information is required by payer-to-payer and government standards.
- Properly coded claims reduce manual edits and support faster adjudication and payment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What if a provider has multiple specialties?
A: Use the taxonomy that best reflects the service rendered on the specific claim. If multiple specialties apply, select the taxonomy for the primary service.
Q: Is there a grace period after January 1, 2026?
A: No. Claims received without a taxonomy code after this date will be rejected automatically.
Please ensure your systems and billing processes are updated accordingly in advance of the go-live date.
