DAVID BLUMFIELD, DPM appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Foot & Ankle Surgery Podiatrist provider holding DPM credentials at 915 GESSNER RD, HOUSTON, TX, 77024, with a listed phone of (713) 467-1299. NPI 1477535367 was issued on 11/16/2005. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what BLUMFIELD 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 1,266 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 385 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $25K in drug spend, split 3% brand-name and 97% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 28.4%. 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 48.3602/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 38.8367), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Foot & Ankle Surgery Podiatrist is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 8,920 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 309 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.
