Common questions

How many prescribers treat plaque psoriasis & PsA?

27,301 active Type 1 NPIs in the treating specialties (dermatology and rheumatology), 17,591 of them matched to a home address for CTV, streaming and display. Another 705,983 referring prescribers are counted separately. Counts come from the CMS NPPES registry, September 2026.

How was the plaque psoriasis & PsA patient audience validated?

In Semcasting's Audience Quality Test, the plaque psoriasis & PsA audience held 2.30x more high-fit households than the U.S. population (score 73 or higher) and 1.61x more qualified households (score 67 or higher). During a campaign the same comparison runs every week on the households actually reached.

Does the plaque psoriasis & PsA audience use diagnosis, claims or prescription data?

No. Patient audiences are built from peer-reviewed, population-level public health reporting and population surveys, scored against Semcasting's national adult file. No diagnosis records, claims, prescriptions or PHI are used, and the score says nothing about any one person's health.

How the audience is built

Patient counts for plaque psoriasis & PsA come from physician-reported registries, diagnostic population surveys, and federal (CDC, CMS, NIH) and disease-association reporting, listed above. Each of 251.7M U.S. adult records is scored 0 to 100 for fit to those published patient profiles by age, gender and income. No published geographic breakdown meets our standard for this condition, so it is scored on demographic fit alone. Qualified means a score of 67 or higher. High-fit means 73 or higher.

How quality is confirmed

Audience quality has historically been confirmed through holdout sampling: a delivered audience is compared with the full national panel at the same fixed score cutoffs, and the difference is reported as lift. During a campaign, the same comparison runs every week on the households actually reached.

What it is not

Qualified audiences are not built from modeled claims data extrapolated from a few locations. They come from peer-reviewed, population-level public health reporting on patient profiles and population surveys. No diagnosis records, claims, prescriptions or PHI are used, and the score says nothing about any one person's health.
