RICHARD ELLERKMANN, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery (Obstetrics & Gynecology) Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 1734 YORK ROAD, LUTHERVILLE, MD, 21093, with a listed phone of (410) 252-2273. NPI 1184736514 was issued on 08/31/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what ELLERKMANN 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 859 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 340 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $271K in drug spend, split 40% brand-name and 60% 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 83.3366/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 69.703), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery (Obstetrics & Gynecology) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 568 enrolled providers across 49 states and an average of 611 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
