Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Brain Injury Medicine (Psychiatry & Neurology) Physician a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 24 NPIs list Brain Injury Medicine (Psychiatry & Neurology) Physician as primary taxonomy across 13 states (peak Virginia, 5). That is 639th of 690 NUCC codes by headcount. Thin codes are still searchable by NPI; do not treat the low count as a quality signal.

CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 11 paid Brain Injury Medicine (Psychiatry & Neurology) Physician physicians totaling $136K (499 payments; average $12K, 28th 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 Brain Injury Medicine (Psychiatry & Neurology) Physician NPIs, 15 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 1,987 claims and $453K drug cost per prescriber; 46th of 572 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
