SAMUEL RECOB, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Family Medicine Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 218 E 2ND ST, LAUREL, NE, 68745, with a listed phone of (402) 256-3042. NPI 1427218577 was issued on 06/12/2008. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what RECOB 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 13,995 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 522 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1.0 million in drug spend, split 11% brand-name and 89% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 3.6%. 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 77.5581/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 76.7758, Cost 50.9178), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Family Medicine Physician is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 147,640 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 3,418 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.
