MURAD ARIF, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Addiction Medicine (Preventive Medicine) Physician provider holding MD credentials at 25495 MEDICAL CENTER DR STE 102, MURRIETA, CA, 92562, with a listed phone of (951) 506-9536. NPI 1164925038 was issued on 03/16/2018. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what ARIF 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 2,250 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 284 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $155K in drug spend, split 6% brand-name and 94% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 54.3%. 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 100/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 100), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Addiction Medicine (Preventive Medicine) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 321 enrolled providers across 44 states and an average of 959 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.
