Common questions
Why is Perinatal Clinical Nurse Specialist a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 36 NPIs list Perinatal Clinical Nurse Specialist as primary taxonomy across 15 states (peak California, 14). That is 596th of 688 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 7 paid Perinatal Clinical Nurse Specialist physicians totaling $802 (21 payments; average $115, 410th of 470 by average). Presence is not a quality judgment; thin specialties often have sparse payment rows.
