GINA ASKAR, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Infectious Disease Physician provider holding MD credentials at 1120 15TH ST STE OR6000, AUGUSTA, GA, 30912, with a listed phone of (706) 721-3813. NPI 1376168468 was issued on 06/15/2020. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what ASKAR 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 877 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 81 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $2.1 million in drug spend, split 69% brand-name and 31% generic by claim count. 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 77.8233/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 72.0413, Cost 60.703), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Infectious Disease Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 8,292 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 816 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.
