Anand Desai, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Radiation Oncology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 161 N FORGE ST, Akron, OH, 44304, with a listed phone of (330) 375-3557. NPI 1104007665 was issued on 11/26/2007. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what Desai 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 428 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 129 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $17K in drug spend, split 11% brand-name and 89% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 11.9%. 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.

Radiation Oncology Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 6,018 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 186 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
