Common questions
Why is Long-Term Care Clinical Nurse Specialist a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 168 NPIs list Long-Term Care Clinical Nurse Specialist as primary taxonomy across 24 states (peak Indiana, 72). That is 465th 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 Long-Term Care Clinical Nurse Specialist NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?
CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 5 paid Long-Term Care Clinical Nurse Specialist physicians totaling $363 (8 payments; average $73, 437th 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 Long-Term Care Clinical Nurse Specialist NPIs, 3 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 135 claims and $4K drug cost per prescriber; 317th of 496 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
