DEVINDER KUMAR, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Pain Medicine (Anesthesiology) Physician provider holding MD credentials at 23928 LYONS AVE STE 206, SANTA CLARITA, CA, 91321, with a listed phone of (661) 257-7500. NPI 1548251390 was issued on 11/01/2005. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what KUMAR 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 4,631 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 408 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $171K in drug spend, split 3% brand-name and 97% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 70.9%. 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. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 0/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 0), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Pain Medicine (Anesthesiology) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 4,020 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 1,657 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.
