RUCHIT SHAH appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology Physician provider at 1717 6TH AVE S, BIRMINGHAM, AL, 35233, with a listed phone of (800) 822-8816. NPI 1871883900 was issued on 04/11/2011. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what SHAH 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 309 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 156 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $93K in drug spend, split 28% brand-name and 72% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 16.8%. 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 96.2475/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 74.0208), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,570 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 1,596 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.
