KEITH RINKUS, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Orthopaedic Surgery of the Spine Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 80 OAK HILL RD, RED BANK, NJ, 07701, with a listed phone of (732) 741-2313. NPI 1750411666 was issued on 03/07/2007. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what RINKUS 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 145 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 77 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 46.2%. 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 63.2373/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 38.9461, Cost 51.0116), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Orthopaedic Surgery of the Spine Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,773 enrolled providers across 51 states and an average of 362 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
