Not Medicare Enrolled

Dr. Narendra Sastry, M.D.

Q: Does Dr. Sastry receive payments from pharmaceutical companies?

Yes. Dr. Sastry received a total of $84,539 from 9 companies across 129 payment records. A record can group multiple payments. These transfers are publicly disclosed through CMS Open Payments. Disclosure alone does not establish their legality or effect on care. Patients may wish to ask their doctor about these relationships, especially if a recommended drug or device appears in the payment records.

Q: What does Data Coverage mean?

Data Coverage (currently Moderate for Dr. Sastry) measures how much public federal data is available about a provider. It is not a quality rating. A Very High or High level means the provider has data across multiple federal sources (NPPES, PECOS, Medicare Utilization, Open Payments), indicating the presence of registry, enrollment, activity or payment records, not verified experience or clinical quality. A Low or Moderate level may simply mean the provider is newer, does not see Medicare patients, or has not received any industry payments — none of which are inherently negative.
