BRIAN HOWARD, DO appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a School Psychologist provider holding DO credentials at 2908 HAWKINS DR, SEARCY, AR, 72143, with a listed phone of (501) 203-0055. NPI 1679934871 was issued on 03/15/2016. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what HOWARD 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 2,799 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 210 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $503K in drug spend, split 5% brand-name and 95% generic by claim count. 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.

School Psychologist is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 13,452 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 1,107 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.
