Common questions
Why is Pediatric Obesity Medicine Physician a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 20 NPIs list Pediatric Obesity Medicine Physician as primary taxonomy across 10 states (peak Colorado, 4). That is 636th 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 Pediatric Obesity Medicine Physician NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?
CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 7 paid Pediatric Obesity Medicine Physician physicians totaling $18K (38 payments; average $3K, 151st of 470 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 Pediatric Obesity Medicine Physician NPIs, 2 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 30 claims and $12K drug cost per prescriber; 446th of 496 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
