BARBARA SEMAKULA, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Sports Medicine (Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation) Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 715 S COWLEY ST STE 228, SPOKANE, WA, 99202, with a listed phone of (509) 473-6706. NPI 1811181795 was issued on 09/04/2007. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what SEMAKULA 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 664 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 151 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $24K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 8.9%. 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.

Sports Medicine (Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,267 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 579 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.
