ZIAD TAIMEH, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 6720 BERTNER AVE, HOUSTON, TX, 77030, with a listed phone of (917) 667-0714. NPI 1891010633 was issued on 04/05/2010. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what TAIMEH 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 2,072 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 261 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1.3 million in drug spend, split 35% brand-name and 65% 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.

Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 510 enrolled providers across 48 states and an average of 1,762 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline. Important: PlainDoctor is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a malpractice database, or a quality rating. 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.
