Richard L. Meyer, 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: 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.

How each fact was established

Joint-replacement fellowship verified

Adult reconstruction fellowship — University of Virginia Hospitals. Read on the cited page.

Years in practice

About 38 years, estimated from training dates. The estimate allows six years for residency and fellowship, which is the shortest path there is, so the real figure may be lower.

Joint replacement volume

44 primary hip and knee replacements were published under this NPI in 2024 Original Medicare fee-for-service claims (26 hip, 18 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.
