Common questions
Why is Uveitis and Ocular Inflammatory Disease (Ophthalmology) Physician a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 49 NPIs list Uveitis and Ocular Inflammatory Disease (Ophthalmology) Physician as primary taxonomy across 18 states (peak California, 8). That is 575th 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 Uveitis and Ocular Inflammatory Disease (Ophthalmology) Physician NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?
CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 42 paid Uveitis and Ocular Inflammatory Disease (Ophthalmology) Physician physicians totaling $451K (649 payments; average $11K, 36th 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 Uveitis and Ocular Inflammatory Disease (Ophthalmology) Physician NPIs, 45 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 916 claims and $333K drug cost per prescriber; 88th of 496 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
