ERIC BAUM, RN, NP-C appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Gerontology Nurse Practitioner provider holding RN, NP-C credentials at 4229 PEARL RD, CLEVELAND, OH, 44109, with a listed phone of (216) 780-6400. NPI 1245465616 was issued on 05/28/2009. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what BAUM 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 5,548 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 138 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $737K in drug spend, split 18% brand-name and 82% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 2.2%. 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.

Gerontology Nurse Practitioner is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 9,625 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 1,283 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.
