What Public CMS Data Show
Surgery: NPPES taxonomy is a reported classification, not proof of board certification.
30-day fills
24 standardized 30-day fills in 2013
CMS converts prescriptions to 30-day supplies so they can be compared. A 90-day prescription counts as about three 30-day fills.
What this does not show: 30-day fills
It is not a count of patients and not a measure of quality.
Part D drug cost
$188 in 2013
The total cost of these prescriptions in 2013, paid by Medicare drug plans, patients and other payers together.
It shows the total spending on drugs this clinician prescribed, not what any one patient paid.
What this does not show: Part D drug cost
A higher cost often reflects the type of medicines a specialty uses. It is not your out-of-pocket cost and not a measure of quality.

Industry payments (Open Payments)
Fewer than 11 payment records totaling $12.72 in 2019
Drug and medical device companies must report certain payments to doctors and some other clinicians to CMS, such as meals, travel, speaking fees or research funding.
It shows reported financial ties between this clinician and companies. You can ask your clinician about them.
These records are submitted by drug and medical device companies, and a reported payment does not necessarily mean the financial relationship is improper.
General: payments not tied to research, such as meals, travel, consulting or speaking fees.
A reported payment does not necessarily mean the financial relationship is improper. Research payments can go to a hospital or university for a study the clinician leads, not to the clinician personally. Clinicians can dispute records with the company that reported them.

NPI first issued
2007
The year this clinician's National Provider Identifier (NPI) was issued. An NPI is a unique 10-digit ID that US health care providers use for billing.
What this does not show: NPI first issued
NPIs have been issued only since 2005, so this year is not necessarily when the clinician started practicing.

Medicare assignment not listed
CMS data do not show whether this clinician accepts Medicare assignment. This does not mean they do not accept Medicare. Ask the office.
Medicare assignment applies to Original Medicare. It does not tell you whether the clinician is in a Medicare Advantage plan's network, accepts other insurance, or is taking new patients.

No telehealth indicator
CMS shows this indicator only when recent Medicare claims include telehealth services. The clinician may still offer telehealth; ask the office.
