Common questions
Why is Cardiac Rehabilitation Registered Nurse a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 153 NPIs list Cardiac Rehabilitation Registered Nurse as primary taxonomy across 37 states (peak Idaho, 21). That is 471st of 688 NUCC codes by headcount. Thin codes are still searchable by NPI; do not treat the low count as a quality signal.
Do the few Cardiac Rehabilitation Registered Nurse NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?
CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 4 paid Cardiac Rehabilitation Registered Nurse physicians totaling $629 (20 payments; average $157, 374th of 470 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 Cardiac Rehabilitation Registered Nurse NPIs, 2 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 185 claims and $54K drug cost per prescriber; 289th of 496 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
