ANDRES URQUIAGA ALVAREZ, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Surgical Assistant provider holding MD credentials at 6607 N DALE MABRY HWY, TAMPA, FL, 33614, with a listed phone of (813) 499-1500. NPI 1871983189 was issued on 01/26/2015. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what URQUIAGA ALVAREZ 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 10,263 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 394 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1.5 million in drug spend, split 15% brand-name and 85% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 0.4%. 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.

Surgical Assistant is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 4,505 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 936 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.
