RONALD BEZAHLER, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Ophthalmology Physician provider holding MD credentials at 70 MERIDEN AVE, SOUTHINGTON, CT, 06489, with a listed phone of (860) 621-6757. NPI 1770518151 was issued on 07/12/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what BEZAHLER 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 1,404 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 283 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $223K in drug spend, split 47% brand-name and 53% 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 10.2651/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 0, Cost 34.217), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Ophthalmology Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 22,090 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 1,420 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
