ROBERT GARDNER, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Clinical Neurophysiology Physician provider holding MD credentials at 1359 N MOUNT AUBURN RD, CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO, 63701, with a listed phone of (573) 651-3188. NPI 1649365917 was issued on 10/04/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what GARDNER 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 4,016 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 386 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1.3 million in drug spend, split 18% brand-name and 82% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 0.9%. 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 92.5751/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 85.0323), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Clinical Neurophysiology Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 639 enrolled providers across 50 states and an average of 1,523 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.
