Ja Hea Gu, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Orthopaedic Hand Surgery Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 1213 E CLAY ST, Richmond, VA, 23298, with a listed phone of (804) 828-3060. NPI 1932717758 was issued on 07/17/2020.

Medicare Part D prescribing data is not currently published for this NPI, which typically means the provider either wrote fewer than 11 Part D claims in the most recent reporting year, does not participate in Medicare, or practices in a specialty that rarely prescribes outpatient drugs. Absence of prescribing data is not a quality signal, many Orthopaedic Hand Surgery Physician providers operate outside Part D entirely. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 76.2/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 64.6, Cost 56.2), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Orthopaedic Hand Surgery Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,962 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 180 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
