BRUCE BARTLOW, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Critical Care Medicine (Internal Medicine) Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 180 NORTHPOINT DR, REDDING, CA, 96003, with a listed phone of (530) 232-3000. NPI 1316956865 was issued on 08/05/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what BARTLOW 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 119 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 28 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $9K in drug spend, split 37% brand-name and 63% 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 90.9801/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 94.2424, Cost 46.8107), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Critical Care Medicine (Internal Medicine) Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 6,631 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 1,069 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.
