Why is Perioperative Clinical Nurse Specialist a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 78 NPIs list Perioperative Clinical Nurse Specialist as primary taxonomy across 26 states (peak California, 9). That is 556th of 690 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 8 paid Perioperative Clinical Nurse Specialist physicians totaling $1K (34 payments; average $130, 501st 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 Perioperative Clinical Nurse Specialist NPIs, 1 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 33 claims and $487 drug cost per prescriber; 548th of 572 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
