MELVIN KHAW, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Infectious Disease Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 16030 VENTURA BLVD, ENCINO, CA, 91436, with a listed phone of (818) 990-1067. NPI 1487624045 was issued on 01/25/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what KHAW 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 4,671 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 450 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $426K in drug spend, split 12% brand-name and 88% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 1.5%. 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. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 85.7185/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 85.6751, Cost 61.479), compared with the national average of 83.1.

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. 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.
