Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Physician Office Based Coding Specialist a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 104 NPIs list Physician Office Based Coding Specialist as primary taxonomy across 33 states (peak California, 20). That is 527th 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 Physician Office Based Coding Specialist NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?
CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 3 paid Physician Office Based Coding Specialist physicians totaling $846 (6 payments; average $282, 435th 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 Physician Office Based Coding Specialist NPIs, 5 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 1,678 claims and $314K drug cost per prescriber; 58th of 572 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
