Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Obesity Medicine (Family Medicine) Physician a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 152 NPIs list Obesity Medicine (Family Medicine) Physician as primary taxonomy across 38 states (peak California, 23). That is 481st 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 Obesity Medicine (Family Medicine) Physician NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?
CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 66 paid Obesity Medicine (Family Medicine) Physician physicians totaling $413K (1,613 payments; average $6K, 75th 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 Obesity Medicine (Family Medicine) Physician NPIs, 111 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 1,505 claims and $214K drug cost per prescriber; 72nd of 572 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
