Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Uveitis and Ocular Inflammatory Disease (Ophthalmology) Physician a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 44 NPIs list Uveitis and Ocular Inflammatory Disease (Ophthalmology) Physician as primary taxonomy across 19 states (peak California, 6). That is 588th 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 Uveitis and Ocular Inflammatory Disease (Ophthalmology) Physician NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?
CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 33 paid Uveitis and Ocular Inflammatory Disease (Ophthalmology) Physician physicians totaling $305K (362 payments; average $9K, 44th 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 Uveitis and Ocular Inflammatory Disease (Ophthalmology) Physician NPIs, 38 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 814 claims and $257K drug cost per prescriber; 198th of 572 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
