🔎 Data Overview

🚫

This provider appears on the federal OIG exclusion list, meaning they have been formally barred from participating in federal healthcare programs due to fraud, patient abuse, licensing issues, or other misconduct. The fact that they still appear in active prescribing data is a significant concern.

💰

Cost per patient is 2113% above the specialty average. Extreme cost outliers may indicate prescribing of unnecessarily expensive brand-name drugs or inappropriate drug utilization.
