ANNA HOUTERMAN, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Surgery Physician provider holding MD credentials at 24302 PASEO DE VALENCIA STE 201, LAGUNA HILLS, CA, 92653, with a listed phone of (949) 598-1701. NPI 1164637435 was issued on 05/11/2007. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what HOUTERMAN 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 71 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 41 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $562 in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 46.5%. 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 90.815/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 85.7976, Cost 80.848), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Surgery Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 36,191 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 169 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.
