MICHAEL HELLMAN, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Adult Reconstructive Orthopaedic Surgery Physician provider holding MD credentials at 120 NE SAINT LUKES BLVD STE 200, LEES SUMMIT, MO, 64086, with a listed phone of (816) 246-4302. NPI 1114214970 was issued on 06/30/2011. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what HELLMAN 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 1,380 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 483 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $12K in drug spend, split 16% brand-name and 84% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 56.6%. 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 77.3625/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 73.5076, Cost 51.0342), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Adult Reconstructive Orthopaedic Surgery Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,245 enrolled providers across 51 states and an average of 493 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.
