JAMES ZIRUL, D.O. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Otolaryngology/Facial Plastic Surgery Physician provider holding D.O. credentials at 220 SPUR VIEW DRIVE, KENAI, AK, 99611, with a listed phone of (907) 283-5400. NPI 1891894606 was issued on 09/21/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what ZIRUL 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 108 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 46 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $3K in drug spend. 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.

Otolaryngology/Facial Plastic Surgery Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 744 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 561 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.
