Common questions

Why is Neonatal Clinical Nurse Specialist a thin NUCC code in NPPES?

Only 104 NPIs list Neonatal Clinical Nurse Specialist as primary taxonomy across 36 states (peak California, 20). That is 514th 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 Neonatal Clinical Nurse Specialist NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?

CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 7 paid Neonatal Clinical Nurse Specialist physicians totaling $2K (13 payments; average $306, 330th 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 Neonatal Clinical Nurse Specialist NPIs, 1 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 28 claims and $529 drug cost per prescriber; 451st of 496 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
