ROBERT SCHERGEN, DPM appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Foot & Ankle Surgery Podiatrist provider holding DPM credentials at 402 N PLEASANT AVE, CENTRALIA, IL, 62801, with a listed phone of (618) 436-6185. NPI 1023469277 was issued on 06/29/2016. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what SCHERGEN 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 764 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 244 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $19K in drug spend, split 2% brand-name and 98% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 22.4%. 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.

Foot & Ankle Surgery Podiatrist is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 8,920 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 309 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.
