Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Medical Biochemical Genetics a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 25 NPIs list Medical Biochemical Genetics as primary taxonomy across 15 states (peak California, 4). That is 634th 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 Medical Biochemical Genetics NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?
CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 9 paid Medical Biochemical Genetics physicians totaling $5K (32 payments; average $535, 349th 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 Medical Biochemical Genetics NPIs, 2 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 28 claims and $604K drug cost per prescriber; 551st of 572 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
