SIVA ARUNASALAM, M D appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Nuclear Cardiology Physician provider holding M D credentials at 12780 HESPERIA RD, VICTORVILLE, CA, 92395, with a listed phone of (760) 946-5177. NPI 1609806041 was issued on 07/03/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what ARUNASALAM 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 15,982 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 848 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $5.5 million in drug spend, split 22% brand-name and 78% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 3.1%. 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 85.8925/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 80.2178, Cost 51.055), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Nuclear Cardiology Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 374 enrolled providers across 37 states and an average of 4,019 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
