Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Podiatric Assistant a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 70 NPIs list Podiatric Assistant as primary taxonomy across 25 states (peak Arizona, 18). That is 562nd 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 Podiatric Assistant NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?
CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 14 paid Podiatric Assistant physicians totaling $5K (93 payments; average $341, 412th 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 Podiatric Assistant NPIs, 15 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 245 claims and $8K drug cost per prescriber; 402nd of 572 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
