National Uniform Claim Committee (NUCC)
Overview
The National Uniform Claim Committee (NUCC) is chaired by the American Medical Association (AMA), with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as a critical partner. The NUCC maintains the Health Care Provider Taxonomy, a standardized code set used in healthcare transactions specified by HIPPA and the National Provider Identifier application. The code set is structured into three distinct levels: Provider Grouping, Classification, and Area of Specialization.
Cybersyn NUCC data provides:
- National Provider Identifiers (NPIs) mapped to NUCC taxonomy codes and business groups
- NUCC taxonomy codes mapped to CMS Medicare speciality codes

We check periodically for changes to the underlying source and, upon detecting a change, propagate the data to Snowflake Marketplace immediately. See our release process for more details.
Notes
All Cybersyn products follow the EAV (entity, attributes, value) model with a unified schema. Entities are tangible objects (e.g. geography, company) that Cybersyn provides data on. All timeseries' dates and values that refer to the entity are included in a timeseries table. Descriptors of the timeseries are included in an attributes table. Data is joinable across all Cybersyn products that have a GEO_ID. Refer to Cybersyn Concepts for more details.
