CARLEN SMITH appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Geriatric Medicine (Family Medicine) Physician provider at 6 E CHESTNUT ST, AUGUSTA, ME, 04330, with a listed phone of (207) 626-7400. NPI 1295199453 was issued on 04/13/2016. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what SMITH 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 4,205 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 286 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $619K in drug spend, split 19% brand-name and 81% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 2.5%. 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 79.2722/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 73.7265, Cost 60.5143), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Geriatric Medicine (Family Medicine) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,779 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 4,854 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.
