BENJAMIN STRAUSS, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Ophthalmology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 771 OLD NORCROSS RD STE 150, LAWRENCEVILLE, GA, 30046, with a listed phone of (770) 995-5408. NPI 1295091163 was issued on 04/05/2012. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what STRAUSS 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 1,683 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 463 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1.4 million in drug spend, split 43% brand-name and 57% 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 84.3234/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 100, Cost 47.7448), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Ophthalmology Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 22,090 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 1,420 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
