Definition
For the purposes of the Health Care Provider Taxonomy, a contractor is limited to individuals who do construction or mechanical work to modify a patient's environment to accommodate a health condition. Contractors perform projects including, but not limited to, building wheelchair ramps, widening doorways, modifying personal vehicles, and making other improvements for patient access and movement. This code has no relation to a provider's employment status.
NUCC’s own wording, not a paraphrase.

These are the codes a mis-selection most often lands on, because they share a classification and differ only by specialisation.
