Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Clinical Informatics Physician a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 83 NPIs list Clinical Informatics Physician as primary taxonomy across 25 states (peak California, 23). That is 550th 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 Clinical Informatics Physician NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?
CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 19 paid Clinical Informatics Physician physicians totaling $28K (118 payments; average $1K, 224th 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 Clinical Informatics Physician NPIs, 25 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 266 claims and $48K drug cost per prescriber; 392nd of 572 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
