JOHN SARZIER, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Neurological Surgery Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 1146 E.G. MILES PKWY, HINESVILLE, GA, 31313, with a listed phone of (912) 877-4400. NPI 1306808191 was issued on 04/05/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what SARZIER 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 43 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 25 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $711 in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 32.6%. 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 73.6345/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 74.907, Cost 40.5413), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Neurological Surgery Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 8,100 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 181 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
