JOSEPH FINKELSTEIN, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Critical Care Medicine (Obstetrics & Gynecology) Physician provider holding MD credentials at 936 5TH AVE, NEW YORK CITY, NY, 10021, with a listed phone of (212) 570-9200. NPI 1770680415 was issued on 09/17/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what FINKELSTEIN 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 184 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 54 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $30K in drug spend, split 35% brand-name and 65% 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.

Critical Care Medicine (Obstetrics & Gynecology) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 35 enrolled providers across 18 states and an average of 119 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.
