What Public CMS Data Show

These CMS figures cover limited populations and published records; they are not quality ratings or medical advice.

Urology: NPPES taxonomy is a reported classification, not proof of board certification.

Medicare patients

877 people with Original Medicare in 2024

Different Original Medicare patients in 2024; counts below 11 are hidden; this does not show availability or quality.

It gives a sense of how many people with Medicare this clinician treated that year.

Source: CMS, Medicare Physician & Other Practitioners – by Provider, 2024.

Medicare-allowed amount

About $389,773 in 2024

The total amount Medicare approved for these services in 2024. It includes what Medicare paid and what patients or their other insurance owed, such as the deductible and coinsurance.

It shows the total cost of this clinician's Original Medicare services under Medicare's fee rules.

What this does not show: Medicare-allowed amount

This is not the clinician's income. Part of it can go to a clinic or group practice, staff, equipment or drugs. It is not the price you will pay.

Source: CMS, Medicare Physician & Other Practitioners – by Provider and Service, 2024.

Paid by Medicare

About $291,596 in 2024

The part of the Medicare-allowed amount that Medicare itself paid in 2024, after patients' deductibles and coinsurance.

The gap between the allowed amount and this number is roughly what patients and their other insurance paid.

What this does not show: Paid by Medicare

This is not the clinician's income and not a measure of quality.

Source: CMS, Medicare Physician & Other Practitioners – by Provider and Service, 2024.

30-day fills

5,761 standardized 30-day fills in 2024

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

$615,312 in 2024

The total cost of these prescriptions in 2024, 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.

Source: CMS, Medicare Part D Prescribers – by Provider and Drug, 2024.

Open Payments general payments, program year 2025

All general payments: $893.64 across 35 records.

By nature of payment

  • Food and Beverage: $893.64 across 35 records.

  • Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc: $188.34 across 5 records.
  • PROGENICS PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.: $140.07 across 6 records.
  • Dendreon Pharmaceuticals LLC: $91.03 across 3 records.

A reported payment does not necessarily mean the financial relationship is improper and is not a measure of care quality. Clinicians can review and dispute these records.

Years since graduation

33 years (graduated 1993)

CMS Doctors and Clinicians data list 1993 as the year this clinician finished professional school.

It tells you roughly how long ago the clinician finished school.

What this does not show: Years since graduation

It is not the number of years in practice, and more years does not mean better care.

Source: CMS Doctors and Clinicians National Downloadable File.

NPI first issued

2006

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.

Source: CMS NPPES NPI Registry.

Accepts Medicare assignment

CMS data list this clinician as accepting Medicare assignment. This means agreeing to take the Medicare-approved amount as full payment for covered services.

With Original Medicare, you usually pay only your deductible and coinsurance, and the office sends the claim to Medicare for you.

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.

Source: CMS Doctors and Clinicians; Medicare.gov, “Does your provider accept Medicare as full payment?”

Guide: What Medicare assignment means

Telehealth (some services)

Recent Medicare claims show this clinician provided some services by telehealth, such as a video or phone visit.

You may be able to have some visits without going to the office. Ask which visits can be done by telehealth.

What this does not show: Telehealth (some services)

It does not mean all services are offered by telehealth, or that telehealth is covered by your plan.

Guide: How Medicare covers telehealth

Enrolled in Medicare (PECOS)

Dr. Challenger has a Medicare enrollment record in PECOS, the CMS system clinicians use to enroll so they can bill Medicare or order services for people with Medicare.

It does not show whether the clinician accepts assignment, is in your plan's network, or is taking new patients.

Source: CMS Medicare Fee-For-Service Public Provider Enrollment (PECOS); CMS Order and Referring file.

Guide: What Medicare enrollment (PECOS) means

Can order Medicare-covered services

CMS lists Dr. Challenger as eligible to order or refer Medicare Part B clinical laboratory and imaging services, durable medical equipment (DME) and home health services for people with Medicare.

Medicare pays for these items and services only when they are ordered by an eligible clinician.

What this does not show: Can order Medicare-covered services

It does not mean the clinician offers these services directly.
