COLIN O'BRIEN, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Cardiovascular Disease Physician provider holding MD credentials at 6135 BARFIELD RD STE 100, SANDY SPRINGS, GA, 30328, with a listed phone of (404) 962-6000. NPI 1245768886 was issued on 05/26/2017. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what O'BRIEN 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 52 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 32 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $13K in drug spend, split 23% brand-name and 77% 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 68.5568/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 63.1547, Cost 52.0348), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Cardiovascular Disease Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 24,795 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 3,033 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.
