Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Women's Health Clinical Nurse Specialist a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 175 NPIs list Women's Health Clinical Nurse Specialist as primary taxonomy across 42 states (peak Texas, 31). That is 464th 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 Women's Health Clinical Nurse Specialist NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?
CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 51 paid Women's Health Clinical Nurse Specialist physicians totaling $11K (391 payments; average $224, 458th 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 Women's Health Clinical Nurse Specialist NPIs, 48 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 117 claims and $25K drug cost per prescriber; 482nd of 572 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
