Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Oral Medicine Dentistry a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 39 NPIs list Oral Medicine Dentistry as primary taxonomy across 16 states (peak Massachusetts, 8). That is 601st 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 Oral Medicine Dentistry NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?
CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 9 paid Oral Medicine Dentistry physicians totaling $2K (21 payments; average $240, 454th 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 Oral Medicine Dentistry NPIs, 23 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 170 claims and $6K drug cost per prescriber; 445th of 572 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
