Mark Chariker, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Plastic Surgery Within the Head and Neck (Plastic Surgery) Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 222 S 1ST ST, Louisville, KY, 40202, with a listed phone of (502) 568-4800. NPI 1194724997 was issued on 07/14/2005. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what Chariker 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 87 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 42 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $958 in drug spend, split 34% brand-name and 66% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 19.5%. 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.

Plastic Surgery Within the Head and Neck (Plastic Surgery) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 179 enrolled providers across 39 states and an average of 193 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
