ANDREW PETERSON, DMD, MS appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Periodontics provider holding DMD, MS credentials at 460 CHAMPLAIN DR, CLAREMONT, CA, 91711, with a listed phone of (406) 861-8844. NPI 1619318755 was issued on 07/16/2013. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what PETERSON most recently submitted to CMS rather than a vetted directory listing, which is why patients should always confirm the practice is still at this location before scheduling.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 165 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 64 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 19.4%. These figures capture only Medicare Part D — commercial insurance, Medicaid, and cash-pay prescriptions are not included, and any drug-beneficiary cell under 11 is suppressed by CMS for patient privacy.

Periodontics is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 6,061 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 264 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline. Important: PlainDoctor is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a malpractice database, or a quality rating. Inclusion here does not imply a recommendation, and absence of complaints or sanctions on this page does not mean none exist — always verify credentials through the NPPES NPI Registry, your state medical board, and the ABMS or AOA before making healthcare decisions.
