Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Enterostomal Therapy Registered Nurse a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 88 NPIs list Enterostomal Therapy Registered Nurse as primary taxonomy across 29 states (peak California, 14). That is 545th 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 Enterostomal Therapy Registered Nurse NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?
CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 9 paid Enterostomal Therapy Registered Nurse physicians totaling $5K (57 payments; average $504, 360th 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 Enterostomal Therapy Registered Nurse NPIs, 6 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 261 claims and $20K drug cost per prescriber; 394th of 572 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
