NCCI Code 8833 — Hospital Professional
8833
NCCI Code
$1.88
Per $100 Payroll
What Code 8833 Covers
Code 8833 covers professional hospital employees — nurses, technicians, therapists, and similar clinical staff. It's distinct from code 9040 which covers all hospital employees including maintenance and housekeeping.
Common Misclassification Issues
Administrative and billing staff coded under 8833 or 9040 instead of 8810. Also, physicians in private practice should typically be under 8832 (much lower rate) rather than hospital codes.
How This Affects Your Premium
At $1.88 per $100 of payroll, an employee earning $50,000/year classified under code 8833 adds approximately $939 to your annual premium. If that employee should actually be in a lower-rate code like 8810 (clerical at $0.16/$100), you'd save approximately $860 per employee per year.
Multiply that by every misclassified employee, and the overpayment adds up fast.
