Matched by practice address or phone in NPPES. A shared address or phone does not confirm that this clinician works there.

NPI first issued

2005

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.

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.

Source: CMS Doctors and Clinicians, CMS release of October 2, 2026; Medicare.gov, β€œDoes your provider accept Medicare as full payment?”

Guide: What Medicare assignment means

No telehealth indicator

CMS shows this indicator only when recent Medicare claims include telehealth services. The clinician may still offer telehealth; ask the office.
