ARUNA YELDANDI, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Nephrology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 310 CENTRAL AVE, EAST ORANGE, NJ, 07018, with a listed phone of (973) 677-1999. NPI 1255479028 was issued on 02/02/2007. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what YELDANDI 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 1,286 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 81 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $182K in drug spend, split 10% brand-name and 90% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 3.7%. 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.

Nephrology Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 10,534 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 1,454 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.
