Reflexologists perform a non-invasive complementary modality involving thumb and finger techniques to apply alternating pressure to the reflexes within the reflex maps of the body located on the feet, hands, and outer ears. Reflexologists apply pressure to specific areas (feet, hands, and ears) to promote a response from an area far removed from the tissue stimulated via the nervous system and acupuncture meridians. Reflexologists are recommended to complete a minimum of 200 hours of education, typically including anatomy & physiology, Reflexology theory, body systems, zones, meridians & relaxation response, ethics, business standards, and supervised practicum.

How taxonomy codes are used
Providers choose one or more taxonomy codes when they apply for an NPI, and mark one as primary. Payers use the taxonomy on claims and enrollment to match the provider type and specialty, so the code on the claim should match the taxonomy on the NPPES record.
