Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Neuro-ophthalmology Physician a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 139 NPIs list Neuro-ophthalmology Physician as primary taxonomy across 33 states (peak California, 17). That is 496th 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 Neuro-ophthalmology Physician NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?
CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 78 paid Neuro-ophthalmology Physician physicians totaling $290K (1,143 payments; average $4K, 127th 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 Neuro-ophthalmology Physician NPIs, 97 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 487 claims and $179K drug cost per prescriber; 294th of 572 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
