Narayanachar Murali, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Gastroenterology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 1131 COOK RD, Orangeburg, SC, 29118, with a listed phone of (803) 539-2005. NPI 1649241118 was issued on 01/31/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what Murali 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 284 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 88 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $781K in drug spend, split 26% brand-name and 74% 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.

Gastroenterology Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 16,567 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 833 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
