JOHN SCHLAERTH, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Gynecologic Oncology Physician provider holding MD credentials at 2011 19TH STREET, BAKERSFIELD, CA, 93301, with a listed phone of (661) 326-1401. NPI 1457368029 was issued on 08/03/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what SCHLAERTH 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 137 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 32 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $18K in drug spend, split 19% brand-name and 81% generic by claim count. 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 85.7347/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 65.761, Cost 59.3913), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Gynecologic Oncology Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,360 enrolled providers across 49 states and an average of 188 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.
