DAVID LASH, PHARMD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Pharmacotherapy Pharmacist provider holding PHARMD credentials at 1700 MOUNT VERNON AVE, BAKERSFIELD, CA, 93306, with a listed phone of (661) 326-2000. NPI 1649670993 was issued on 08/23/2014. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what LASH 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 2,930 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 269 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $843K in drug spend, split 28% brand-name and 72% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 3.5%. 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.

Pharmacotherapy Pharmacist is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 5,925 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 397 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.
