GEETHA BALASUBRAMANIAN, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Nephrology Physician provider holding MD credentials at 1000 EDGEWATER PT STE 303, LAKE ST LOUIS, MO, 63367, with a listed phone of (636) 265-2225. NPI 1942219563 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 BALASUBRAMANIAN 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 976 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 162 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $65K in drug spend, split 9% brand-name and 91% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 2.4%. 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.

Nephrology Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 10,534 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 1,454 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.
