Common questions

Why is Ophthalmic Registered Nurse a thin NUCC code in NPPES?

Only 25 NPIs list Ophthalmic Registered Nurse as primary taxonomy across 15 states (peak Colorado, 4). That is 622nd 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 Ophthalmic Registered Nurse NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?

CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 1 paid Ophthalmic Registered Nurse physicians totaling $842 (17 payments; average $842, 246th of 470 by average). Presence is not a quality judgment; thin specialties often have sparse payment rows.

What does NUCC code 163WX1100X mean?

Ophthalmic Registered Nurse is NUCC taxonomy 163WX1100X in the Registered Nurse group. Counts are self-designated primary taxonomy at NPI enrollment, not board certification.
