Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Child Abuse Pediatrics Physician a thin NUCC code in NPPES?

Only 133 NPIs list Child Abuse Pediatrics Physician as primary taxonomy across 35 states (peak Texas, 13). That is 500th 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 Child Abuse Pediatrics Physician NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?

CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 6 paid Child Abuse Pediatrics Physician physicians totaling $15K (15 payments; average $2K, 178th 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 Child Abuse Pediatrics Physician NPIs, 3 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 90 claims and $41K drug cost per prescriber; 500th of 572 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
