ANDREW BLATT, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Ophthalmology Physician provider holding MD credentials at 675 OLD BALLAS RD, ST LOUIS, MO, 63141, with a listed phone of (314) 997-3937. NPI 1790895860 was issued on 08/30/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what BLATT 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 236 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 84 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $15K in drug spend, split 29% brand-name and 71% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 6.4%. 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.

Ophthalmology Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 22,090 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 1,420 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.
