HUEY TIEN, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Surgery of the Hand (Surgery) Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 225 ABRAHAM FLEXNER WAY, LOUISVILLE, KY, 40202, with a listed phone of (502) 561-4263. NPI 1740274018 was issued on 09/01/2005. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what TIEN 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 421 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 186 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $4K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 32.5%. 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.

Surgery of the Hand (Surgery) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 394 enrolled providers across 44 states and an average of 175 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.
