The Office of MaineCare Services (OMS) is requesting that providers include the taxonomy code on all claims. The taxonomy code is necessary for the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) to collect data for Transformed Medicaid Statistical Information System (T-MSIS) reporting. This data helps to inform states of their current standing in data quality as compared to other states and is crucial for research and policy on Medicaid and CHIP. The taxonomy is also used by CMS to conduct program oversight, administration, and integrity.
Jamie Bourque will lead the office in establishing a State-wide, data driven approach to prevention and response work
