ANN MARIE RICHARDS, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Obesity Medicine (Preventive Medicine) Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 150 IVEY LANE, PINEHURST, NC, 28374, with a listed phone of (910) 215-5210. NPI 1942611280 was issued on 05/08/2014. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what RICHARDS 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 4,394 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 394 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $788K in drug spend, split 18% brand-name and 82% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 0.8%. 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. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 88.6879/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 81.5944, Cost 84.032), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Obesity Medicine (Preventive Medicine) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 126 enrolled providers across 35 states and an average of 1,219 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.

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.
