SOLOMON FOROUZESH, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Rheumatology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 9808 VENICE BLVD, CULVER CITY, CA, 90232, with a listed phone of (310) 204-5555. NPI 1457548133 was issued on 09/26/2007. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what FOROUZESH 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 10,105 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 560 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $6.0 million in drug spend, split 21% brand-name and 79% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 4.4%. 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 11.4226/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 0, Cost 38.0755), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Rheumatology Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 6,181 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 2,054 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.
