ASHLEY BALAKER, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Otology & Neurotology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 24411 HEALTH CENTER DR STE 370, LAGUNA HILLS, CA, 92653, with a listed phone of (949) 364-4361. NPI 1427387547 was issued on 12/19/2009. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what BALAKER 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 885 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 345 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $31K in drug spend, split 8% brand-name and 92% generic by claim count. 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 90.3189/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 80.6378), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Otology & Neurotology Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 333 enrolled providers across 46 states and an average of 401 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
