Common questions

Why is Vascular Specialist/Technologist Cardiovascular a thin NUCC code in NPPES?

Only 78 NPIs list Vascular Specialist/Technologist Cardiovascular as primary taxonomy across 23 states (peak California, 12). That is 540th 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 Vascular Specialist/Technologist Cardiovascular NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?

CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 3 paid Vascular Specialist/Technologist Cardiovascular physicians totaling $772K (352 payments; average $257K, 1st 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 Vascular Specialist/Technologist Cardiovascular NPIs, 1 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 103 claims and $22K drug cost per prescriber; 345th of 496 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
