Sri Laxmi Priya Sunkara, M.D appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Student in an Organized Health Care Education/Training Program provider holding M.D credentials at WHITE RIVER MEDICAL CENTER, 1710 HARRISON STREET, Batesville, AR, 72501, with a listed phone of (870) 262-1200. NPI 1942998935 was issued on 04/27/2023. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what Sunkara 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 40 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 15 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $6K in drug spend, split 40% brand-name and 60% generic by claim count. 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.

Student in an Organized Health Care Education/Training Program is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 331,761 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 459 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
