LAXMAIAH MANCHIKANTI, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Interventional Pain Medicine Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 2831 LONE OAK RD, PADUCAH, KY, 42003, with a listed phone of (270) 554-8373. NPI 1730178799 was issued on 10/20/2005. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what MANCHIKANTI 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 14,495 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 1,817 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $535K in drug spend, split 2% brand-name and 98% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 60.3%. 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 75/100 for the 2023 performance year, compared with the national average of 83.1.

Interventional Pain Medicine Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,528 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 2,197 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.
