CATHY SMITH, NP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Advanced Practice Dental Therapist provider holding NP credentials at 1500 E MEDICAL CENTER DR, ANN ARBOR, MI, 48109, with a listed phone of (734) 936-4000. NPI 1467826578 was issued on 12/01/2015. 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 647 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 189 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $18K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 12.5%. 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.

Advanced Practice Dental Therapist is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 58 enrolled providers across 13 states and an average of 293 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.
