Only 105 NPIs list Physician Office Based Coding Specialist as primary taxonomy across 35 states (peak California, 18). That is 513th of 688 NUCC codes by headcount. Thin codes are still searchable by NPI; do not treat the low count as a quality signal.
Where can I still find a Physician Office Based Coding Specialist?
Physician Office Based Coding Specialist providers are listed in 35 states; San Diego leads by raw city count. By national headcount this code sits just above Neonatal Clinical Nurse Specialist and just below Compounded Sterile Preparations Pharmacist. Browse by state or search by name.
How much Part D prescribing does this specialty do?
Among Physician Office Based Coding Specialist NPIs, 2 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 152 claims and $460K drug cost per prescriber; 309th of 496 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
