SUSHRUTH EDLA, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Internal Medicine Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 1390 US HIGHWAY 61 STE N1500, FESTUS, MO, 63028, with a listed phone of (636) 933-5055. NPI 1821343179 was issued on 07/23/2012. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what EDLA 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 4,265 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 468 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $519K in drug spend, split 13% brand-name and 87% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 0.4%. 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.

Internal Medicine Physician is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 172,858 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 2,716 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.
