Medicare and federal program status
Opted out of Medicare from January 1, 2017 through January 1, 2027. Medicare does not pay for this clinician’s services: patients with Medicare sign a private contract and pay the clinician directly. They can still order tests and refer Medicare patients to other providers.
Source: CMS Medicare Opt Out Affidavits (record last updated January 15, 2025). Opting out is a legal choice many clinicians make, often to run a cash or concierge practice.

The NPI date is when this clinician registered for a National Provider Identifier, the billing number used on health claims. It is not a license, graduation or board-certification date. NPIs were first issued in May 2005 and became required on claims in 2007–2008, so an early date usually means the clinician was already in practice before then. What an NPI is
