ANTONIO COVARRUBIAS, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Vascular Surgery Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 500 SUPERIOR AVE STE 305, NEWPORT BEACH, CA, 92663, with a listed phone of (949) 764-8960. NPI 1679834907 was issued on 06/04/2012. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what COVARRUBIAS 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 77 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 50 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $11K in drug spend, split 14% brand-name and 86% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 20.8%. 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 84.4124/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 90.6795, Cost 57.3618), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Vascular Surgery Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 4,215 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 205 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.
