THOMAS KURIAN, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Neurology with Special Qualifications in Child Neurology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 23861 MCBEAN PKWY STE E12, VALENCIA, CA, 91355, with a listed phone of (661) 857-7100. NPI 1356675573 was issued on 09/21/2009. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what KURIAN 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 1,939 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 298 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1.1 million in drug spend, split 14% brand-name and 86% 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. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 77.1345/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 66.4773, Cost 42.0493), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Neurology with Special Qualifications in Child Neurology Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,803 enrolled providers across 51 states and an average of 359 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
