CLAYTON BISHOP, MD, MPH appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Specialist provider holding MD, MPH credentials at 5959 S STAPLES ST, CORPUS CHRISTI, TX, 78413, with a listed phone of (361) 854-7000. NPI 1386136174 was issued on 06/06/2018. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what BISHOP 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 293 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 130 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $14K in drug spend, split 5% brand-name and 95% 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.

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.
