GERALD DEL RIO, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Pulmonary Disease Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 2220 GLADSTONE DR, PITTSBURG, CA, 94565, with a listed phone of (925) 432-3318. NPI 1568417889 was issued on 05/24/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what DEL RIO 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 490 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 194 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $77K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 2.9%. 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.

Pulmonary Disease Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 9,271 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 1,457 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.
