CARLOS DOSTAL, MD, PHD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Addiction Medicine (Internal Medicine) Physician provider holding MD, PHD credentials at PRIMARY CARE PAVILION, SUITE 107, GALVESTON, TX, 77555, with a listed phone of (409) 747-1883. NPI 1740802313 was issued on 05/17/2020. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what DOSTAL 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 463 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 94 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $102K in drug spend, split 22% brand-name and 78% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 4.8%. 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 74.9614/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 73.7789, Cost 47.7591), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Addiction Medicine (Internal Medicine) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 553 enrolled providers across 46 states and an average of 1,403 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.
