Current Provider Type and Specialty Logic- Effective 1/1/2024

In addition to meeting other criteria from the primary care sub-capitation claims logic, the servicing or attending provider must have at least one specialty from the Included Provider Specialties list below and none from the Excluded Provider Specialties list below. There are several provider specialties that are not on either list. These unlisted specialties have no impact on whether a claim is covered by primary care sub-capitation. Note that Community Health Centers follow a separate process; please see the section Provider Type and Specialty for details.

At least one of the following specialties:

Included Provider Specialties
Adolescent Medicine
Family Medicine
General Medicine
Geriatric Medicine
Internal Medicine
Nurse Practitioner
Pediatric Medicine
Physician Assistant
Preventive Medicine
Osteopathic Medicine

Must not have one of the following specialties:

Note: Sub-specialties are included or excluded according to their overarching specialty (e.g., sub-specialties like “Pediatric Surgery” are excluded under “Surgery”). Specialties not on the “included” or “excluded” lists above do not impact the Primary Care Sub-Capitation claims logic.
