Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Hospice and Palliative Medicine (Emergency Medicine) Physician a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 167 NPIs list Hospice and Palliative Medicine (Emergency Medicine) Physician as primary taxonomy across 39 states (peak California, 24). That is 471st 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 Hospice and Palliative Medicine (Emergency Medicine) Physician NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?
CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 18 paid Hospice and Palliative Medicine (Emergency Medicine) Physician physicians totaling $6K (93 payments; average $318, 420th 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 Hospice and Palliative Medicine (Emergency Medicine) Physician NPIs, 116 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 300 claims and $29K drug cost per prescriber; 375th of 572 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
