A code to classify the home and community based services listed on the claim into the HCBS taxonomy. The HCBS Taxonomic classification system was adopted by CMS in August 2012.
To acknowledge state variation, services and categories are defined based on the minimum definition necessary to establish mutually distinct categories and services. Some services are defined in part by characteristics that are NOT in that service. For example, the difference between companion services and personal care is that companion services do not include assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting.
Some of the services reflected by the HCBS Taxonomy including, but not limited to personal care, case management, home health aide, and physician services, may (and in some case, must) also be covered under the Medicaid State Plan. The definitions below only define these services for purposes of Section 1915(c) Waivers and the State Plan Home and Community-Based Services benefit authorized by Section 1915(i). States interested in reflecting services as �extended state plan� services must offer them in accordance with state plan service definitions. Consult with the CMS Division of Benefits and Coverage in those instances to ensure definition alignment.
The services and categories are arranged in order of consideration for placing a particular state service in the taxonomy. If one is not sure how to map a state�s service to the taxonomy, one should first consider Case Management, then Round-the-Clock Services, then Supported Employment, etc.

Consult with the CMS Division of Benefits and Coverage in those instances to ensure definition alignment.
The services and categories are arranged in order of consideration for placing a particular state service in the taxonomy. If one is not sure how to map a state's service to the taxonomy, one should first consider Case Management, then Round-the-Clock Services, then Supported Employment, etc.
