Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Ostomy Care Registered Nurse a thin NUCC code in NPPES?

Only 47 NPIs list Ostomy Care Registered Nurse as primary taxonomy across 29 states (peak New York, 7). That is 586th 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 Ostomy Care Registered Nurse NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?

CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 1 paid Ostomy Care Registered Nurse physicians totaling $108 (1 payments; average $108, 514th 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 Ostomy Care Registered Nurse NPIs, 2 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 250 claims and $42K drug cost per prescriber; 399th of 572 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
