LUIS MATTA, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Emergency Medicine Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 71205 HIGHWAY 21 STE 1, COVINGTON, LA, 70433, with a listed phone of (985) 809-8868. NPI 1003817941 was issued on 08/02/2005. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what MATTA 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 2,434 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 649 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $37K in drug spend, split 8% brand-name and 92% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 8.7%. 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.

Emergency Medicine Physician is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 64,398 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 352 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.
