Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Naprapath a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 172 NPIs list Naprapath as primary taxonomy across 21 states (peak Illinois, 91). That is 465th of 690 NUCC codes by headcount. Thin codes are still searchable by NPI; do not treat the low count as a quality signal.
Where can I still find a Naprapath?
Naprapath providers are listed in 21 states; Chicago leads by raw city count. By national headcount this code sits just above Dental Therapist and just below Women's Health Clinical Nurse Specialist. Browse by state or search by name.
How much Part D prescribing does this specialty do?
Among Naprapath NPIs, 3 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 171 claims and $5K drug cost per prescriber; 444th of 572 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
