CAROLINA MEDRANO MENDEZ, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Specialist provider holding MD credentials at 600 PAVONIA AVE STE 2, JERSEY CITY, NJ, 07306, with a listed phone of (201) 885-3700. NPI 1538543988 was issued on 07/15/2015. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what MEDRANO MENDEZ 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 9,289 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 345 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $2.6 million in drug spend, split 21% brand-name and 79% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 3.0%. 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.

Specialist is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 69,658 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 1,474 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.
