James Baker appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Adult Reconstructive Orthopaedic Surgery Physician provider at 201 ABRAHAM FLEXNER WAY STE 100, Louisville, KY, 40202, with a listed phone of (502) 587-8222. NPI 1346603321 was issued on 03/29/2016. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what Baker 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 330 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 130 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $22K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 38.8%. 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 73.2/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 58.7, Cost 51.9), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Adult Reconstructive Orthopaedic Surgery Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,245 enrolled providers across 51 states and an average of 493 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
