Frequently Asked Questions

Why is In Vivo & In Vitro Nuclear Medicine Physician a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 14 NPIs list In Vivo & In Vitro Nuclear Medicine Physician as primary taxonomy across 11 states (peak California, 4). That is 660th 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 In Vivo & In Vitro Nuclear Medicine Physician NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?
CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 1 paid In Vivo & In Vitro Nuclear Medicine Physician physicians totaling $135 (2 payments; average $135, 493rd 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 In Vivo & In Vitro Nuclear Medicine Physician NPIs, 2 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 34 claims and $906 drug cost per prescriber; 547th of 572 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
