BHARATH BALU, PHD MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a MOHS-Micrographic Surgery Physician provider holding PHD MD credentials at 1942 SCOTLAND AVE, CHAMBERSBURG, PA, 17201, with a listed phone of (717) 844-5266. NPI 1194192872 was issued on 08/28/2015. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what BALU 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 370 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 175 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $302K in drug spend, split 20% brand-name and 80% 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.

MOHS-Micrographic Surgery Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,102 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 607 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.
