Frequently Asked Questions

Only 60 NPIs list Neonatal/Pediatric Certified Respiratory Therapist as primary taxonomy across 19 states (peak California, 36). That is 573rd of 690 NUCC codes by headcount. Thin codes are still searchable by NPI; do not treat the low count as a quality signal.

CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 1 paid Neonatal/Pediatric Certified Respiratory Therapist physicians totaling $1K (48 payments; average $1K, 260th 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 Neonatal/Pediatric Certified Respiratory Therapist NPIs, 1 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 2,310 claims and $275K drug cost per prescriber; 40th of 572 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
