Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Community Psychiatric/Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 28 NPIs list Community Psychiatric/Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist as primary taxonomy across 16 states (peak Ohio, 6). That is 624th 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 Community Psychiatric/Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?
CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 5 paid Community Psychiatric/Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist physicians totaling $2K (57 payments; average $378, 393rd 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 Community Psychiatric/Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist NPIs, 6 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 1,020 claims and $155K drug cost per prescriber; 144th of 572 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
