ALBERTO FERNANDEZ, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Pediatric Otolaryngology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 6705 S RED RD, SOUTH MIAMI, FL, 33143, with a listed phone of (305) 666-0203. NPI 1467452193 was issued on 07/22/2005. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what FERNANDEZ 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 2,842 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 1,035 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $132K in drug spend, split 4% brand-name and 96% 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 87.5908/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 82.3468), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Pediatric Otolaryngology Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 574 enrolled providers across 43 states and an average of 313 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.

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.
