ANNE WALTER, MD, MBA appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Procedural Dermatology Physician provider holding MD, MBA credentials at 8415 N PIMA RD, SCOTTSDALE, AZ, 85258, with a listed phone of (480) 434-6600. NPI 1457581019 was issued on 07/17/2009. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what WALTER 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 1,097 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 709 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $14K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 2.1%. 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 75.7375/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 95.5307, Cost 25.084), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Procedural Dermatology Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 679 enrolled providers across 48 states and an average of 664 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.
