PAUL LAMA, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Glaucoma Specialist (Ophthalmology) Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 87 W PASSAIC ST, ROCHELLE PARK, NJ, 07662, with a listed phone of (201) 343-3499. NPI 1033130315 was issued on 07/21/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what LAMA 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 8,205 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 1,272 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1.4 million in drug spend, split 37% brand-name and 63% 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. 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.

Glaucoma Specialist (Ophthalmology) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 354 enrolled providers across 42 states and an average of 2,962 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
