Matthew S. Kerr, MD

What this record establishes

The authenticated AAHKS directory lists this surgeon as a member, and CMS published hip or knee replacement services under this surgeon's NPI.

What still needs verification: years in practice, board certification and current all-payer annual volume. An unmet criterion is never a finding against a surgeon: CMS publishes only the Medicare half of a practice, and a credential nobody has documented is unknown, not absent.

Years in practice

Approximately 2 years estimated from training dates. Not confirmed against a primary source.

Joint replacement volume

17 primary hip and knee replacements were published under this NPI in 2024 Original Medicare fee-for-service claims (17 hip, 0 knee). That is a lower bound: cash and commercially insured cases are published nowhere, for anyone. Below 100, the file proves nothing about total volume, because the rest of a practice is not in it.

Medicare participation: accepts Medicare assignment

The CMS Doctors & Clinicians file reports that this clinician accepts the Medicare-approved amount as payment in full.

CMS Medicare-listed practice: Palm Beach Sportsmedicine And Orthopaedic Center PA · West Palm Bch, FL 33407.

AAHKS membership
