Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Contact Lens Fitter a thin NUCC code in NPPES?

Only 98 NPIs list Contact Lens Fitter as primary taxonomy across 26 states (peak New York, 31). That is 533rd 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 Contact Lens Fitter NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?

CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 2 paid Contact Lens Fitter physicians totaling $248 (7 payments; average $124, 505th of 551 by average). Presence is not a quality judgment; thin specialties often have sparse payment rows.
