Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Addiction Medicine (Anesthesiology) Physician a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 125 NPIs list Addiction Medicine (Anesthesiology) Physician as primary taxonomy across 37 states (peak California, 17). That is 505th of 690 NUCC codes by headcount. Thin codes are still searchable by NPI; do not treat the low count as a quality signal.
Do the few Addiction Medicine (Anesthesiology) Physician NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?
CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 45 paid Addiction Medicine (Anesthesiology) Physician physicians totaling $156K (565 payments; average $3K, 134th of 551 by average). Presence is not a quality judgment; thin specialties often have sparse payment rows.
How much Part D prescribing does this specialty do?
Among Addiction Medicine (Anesthesiology) Physician NPIs, 62 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 799 claims and $65K drug cost per prescriber; 203rd of 572 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
