AREF BHUIYA, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Addiction Medicine (Internal Medicine) Physician provider holding MD credentials at 5655 LINDERO CANYON RD STE 202, WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA, 91362, with a listed phone of (818) 597-3223. NPI 1932369675 was issued on 06/16/2008. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what BHUIYA 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 343 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 16 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $32K in drug spend, split 3% brand-name and 97% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 55.7%. 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.

Addiction Medicine (Internal Medicine) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 553 enrolled providers across 46 states and an average of 1,403 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.
