What this does not show: Medicare-allowed amount

30-day fills

442 standardized 30-day fills in 2024

By nature of payment

  • Food and Beverage: $37.38 across 2 records.

Years since graduation

9 years (graduated 2017)

CMS Doctors and Clinicians data list 2017 as the year this clinician finished professional school.

NPI first issued

2017

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.

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.

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.
