NIHAR PATEL, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Hematology & Oncology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 2410 ROUND ROCK AVE STE 250, ROUND ROCK, TX, 78681, with a listed phone of (512) 341-8724. NPI 1528228921 was issued on 06/10/2008. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what PATEL 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 614 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 149 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $423K in drug spend, split 22% brand-name and 78% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 12.5%. 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 89.4449/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 75.8575), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Hematology & Oncology Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 11,215 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 847 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.

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.
