CYNTHIA LUCAS, PA appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Surgical Physician Assistant provider holding PA credentials at 2 MEDICAL CENTER DRIVE, SPRINGFIELD, MA, 01107, with a listed phone of (413) 794-7020. NPI 1134212798 was issued on 10/02/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what LUCAS 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 87 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 41 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $4K in drug spend, split 22% brand-name and 78% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 27.6%. 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.

Surgical Physician Assistant is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 16,119 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 316 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.

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.
