DELANO BENJAMIN, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Adult Medicine Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 1480 FORESTDALE BLVD, FORESTDALE, AL, 35214, with a listed phone of (205) 820-9050. NPI 1184800948 was issued on 01/11/2008. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what BENJAMIN 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 15,769 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 722 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1.4 million in drug spend, split 8% brand-name and 92% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 9.2%. 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.

Adult Medicine Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 2,481 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 2,807 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.
