JAMES KEMPER, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Otology & Neurotology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 5750 BALCONES DR, AUSTIN, TX, 78731, with a listed phone of (512) 836-8786. NPI 1568450948 was issued on 10/11/2005. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what KEMPER 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 1,175 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 298 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $18K in drug spend, split 5% brand-name and 95% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 6.0%. 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 60.5367/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 33.703), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Otology & Neurotology Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 333 enrolled providers across 46 states and an average of 401 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.
