EVELYN CHOU, DO appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Hospice and Palliative Medicine (Family Medicine) Physician provider holding DO credentials at 520 E DOUGLAS BLVD, TYLER, TX, 75702, with a listed phone of (903) 606-1721. NPI 1386265106 was issued on 05/04/2020. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what CHOU 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 486 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 61 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $35K in drug spend, split 13% brand-name and 87% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 2.7%. 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.

Hospice and Palliative Medicine (Family Medicine) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 784 enrolled providers across 51 states and an average of 2,070 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.
