Sandeep Thakkar, D.O. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Neurology Physician provider holding D.O. credentials at 16405 SAND CANYON AVE STE 265, Irvine, CA, 92618, with a listed phone of (714) 602-9891. NPI 1740454586 was issued on 04/14/2008. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what Thakkar 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 9,906 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 1,274 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $5.4 million in drug spend. 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 88.2/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 71.6), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Neurology Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 19,866 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 1,309 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.
