Common questions
Why is Plastic Surgery Registered Nurse a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 140 NPIs list Plastic Surgery Registered Nurse as primary taxonomy across 36 states (peak California, 20). That is 488th of 688 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 6 paid Plastic Surgery Registered Nurse physicians totaling $30K (48 payments; average $5K, 86th of 470 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, 3 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 24 claims and $666 drug cost per prescriber; 460th of 496 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
