Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Sports Medicine Podiatrist a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 135 NPIs list Sports Medicine Podiatrist as primary taxonomy across 30 states (peak California, 28). That is 499th 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 Sports Medicine Podiatrist NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?
CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 69 paid Sports Medicine Podiatrist physicians totaling $183K (875 payments; average $3K, 170th 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 Sports Medicine Podiatrist NPIs, 94 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 268 claims and $18K drug cost per prescriber; 391st of 572 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
