Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Plastic Surgery Registered Nurse a thin NUCC code in NPPES?

Only 164 NPIs list Plastic Surgery Registered Nurse as primary taxonomy across 38 states (peak California, 24). That is 473rd 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 Plastic Surgery Registered Nurse NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?

CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 18 paid Plastic Surgery Registered Nurse physicians totaling $100K (356 payments; average $6K, 83rd 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 Plastic Surgery Registered Nurse NPIs, 10 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 406 claims and $32K drug cost per prescriber; 319th of 572 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
