CARTER FREIBURG, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Surgery Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 520 UPPER CHESAPEAKE DR, BEL AIR, MD, 21014, with a listed phone of (410) 879-2006. NPI 1720102288 was issued on 03/19/2007. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what FREIBURG 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 146 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 70 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $47K in drug spend, split 49% brand-name and 51% 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. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 85.574/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 82.9299, Cost 65.3738), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Surgery Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 36,191 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 169 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.
