PAUL KAMINSKY, MD/PHD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Colon & Rectal Surgery Physician provider holding MD/PHD credentials at 2222 NW LOVEJOY ST STE 601, PORTLAND, OR, 97210, with a listed phone of (503) 413-5514. NPI 1295173763 was issued on 06/06/2013. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what KAMINSKY 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 169 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 87 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $8K in drug spend, split 15% brand-name and 85% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 38.5%. 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 97.9511/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 90.8619, Cost 93.4915), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Colon & Rectal Surgery Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,608 enrolled providers across 50 states and an average of 196 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.
