ADAM DAO, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Cornea and External Diseases Specialist Physician provider holding MD credentials at 3555 ROSECRANS ST STE 107B, SAN DIEGO, CA, 92110, with a listed phone of (619) 226-1877. NPI 1770870446 was issued on 07/01/2011. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what DAO most recently submitted to CMS rather than a vetted directory listing, which is why patients should always confirm the practice is still at this location before scheduling.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 867 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 212 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $155K in drug spend, split 42% brand-name and 58% generic by claim count. These figures capture only Medicare Part D — commercial insurance, Medicaid, and cash-pay prescriptions are not included, and any drug-beneficiary cell under 11 is suppressed by CMS for patient privacy. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 79.3778/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 77.7778), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Cornea and External Diseases Specialist Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 294 enrolled providers across 43 states and an average of 1,232 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline. Important: PlainDoctor is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a malpractice database, or a quality rating. Inclusion here does not imply a recommendation, and absence of complaints or sanctions on this page does not mean none exist — always verify credentials through the NPPES NPI Registry, your state medical board, and the ABMS or AOA before making healthcare decisions.
