Franklin Bivins, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Family Medicine Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 101 ELY DR, Heber Springs, AR, 72543, with a listed phone of (501) 362-6000. NPI 1427038082 was issued on 01/19/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 21,963 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 653 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1.6 million in drug spend, split 12% brand-name and 88% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 4.7%. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider carries a Final Score of 75/100 for the 2023 performance year, but CMS published no Quality, Promoting Interoperability, Improvement Activity or Cost score: this is the neutral performance threshold CMS assigns where nothing was scored, so it is not comparable with clinicians whose score was measured.

Family Medicine Physician is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 147,760 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 3,418 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
