Margaret Chung, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Infectious Disease Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 20 HOSPITAL DR, Toms River, NJ, 08755, with a listed phone of (732) 797-1979. NPI 1578526489 was issued on 04/11/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what Chung 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 207 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 37 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $553K in drug spend, split 71% brand-name and 29% 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.

Infectious Disease Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 8,292 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 816 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
