Common questions
Why is Dental Laboratory Technician a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 68 NPIs list Dental Laboratory Technician as primary taxonomy across 22 states (peak Arizona, 10). That is 554th 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 Dental Laboratory Technician NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?
CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 3 paid Dental Laboratory Technician physicians totaling $194 (6 payments; average $65, 441st 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 Dental Laboratory Technician NPIs, 1 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 95 claims and $334 drug cost per prescriber; 350th of 496 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
