Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Pulmonary Function Technologist a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 76 NPIs list Pulmonary Function Technologist as primary taxonomy across 27 states (peak California, 19). That is 558th 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 Pulmonary Function Technologist NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?
CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 2 paid Pulmonary Function Technologist physicians totaling $561 (24 payments; average $281, 436th 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 Pulmonary Function Technologist NPIs, 2 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 8,856 claims and $2.6M drug cost per prescriber; 4th of 572 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
