Charles Curatalo, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Neurology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 219 NOGALES AVE STE G, Santa Barbara, CA, 93105, with a listed phone of (805) 682-8153. NPI 1851345508 was issued on 05/19/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 2,604 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 401 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1.3 million in drug spend, split 12% brand-name and 87% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 5.8%. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider carries a Final Score of 75/100 for the 2023 performance year, but CMS published no Quality, Promoting Interoperability, Improvement Activity or Cost score: this is the neutral performance threshold CMS assigns where nothing was scored, so it is not comparable with clinicians whose score was measured.

Neurology Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 19,885 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 1,309 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
