SAMIR AZZAM, M.D appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Specialist provider holding M.D credentials at 1211 W LA PALMA AVE STE 707, ANAHEIM, CA, 92801, with a listed phone of (714) 776-2100. NPI 1891744538 was issued on 05/09/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what AZZAM 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 16,519 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 740 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1.4 million in drug spend, split 13% brand-name and 87% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 0.6%. 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 22.2107/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 0, Cost 74.0356), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Specialist is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 69,658 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 1,474 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline. Important: PlainDoctor is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a malpractice database, or a quality rating. 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.
