DERRICK BASS, PA-C appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Athletic Trainer provider holding PA-C credentials at 166 SPRINGBROOK AVE STE 101, CLAYTON, NC, 27520, with a listed phone of (919) 550-3430. NPI 1528502358 was issued on 12/13/2016. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what BASS 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 354 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 130 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $9K in drug spend, split 4% brand-name and 96% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 37.9%. 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.

Athletic Trainer is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 48,068 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 427 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.
