Rowland M. Roberson, 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. 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.

Joint replacement volume

411 primary hip and knee replacements were published under this NPI in 2024 Original Medicare fee-for-service claims (89 hip, 322 knee). That is a lower bound: cash and commercially insured cases are published nowhere, for anyone. Above the 100 the criterion asks Medicare to show, the unpublished half is assumed to at least match it, which is how the 200-a-year criterion is credited: half counted, half assumed.

Medicare participation: accepts Medicare assignment

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