Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Obesity Medicine (Obstetrics & Gynecology) Physician a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 22 NPIs list Obesity Medicine (Obstetrics & Gynecology) Physician as primary taxonomy across 15 states (peak Texas, 3). That is 645th 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 10 paid Obesity Medicine (Obstetrics & Gynecology) Physician physicians totaling $31K (154 payments; average $3K, 152nd 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 (Obstetrics & Gynecology) Physician NPIs, 13 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 332 claims and $145K drug cost per prescriber; 356th of 572 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
