G. SHAPIRO, DPM appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Podiatrist provider holding DPM credentials at 15419 HODGES CIR STE 200, HUNTERSVILLE, NC, 28078, with a listed phone of (704) 892-5575. NPI 1215923503 was issued on 09/22/2005. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what SHAPIRO 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 285 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 175 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $10K in drug spend, split 9% brand-name and 91% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 6.7%. 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 68.7918/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 50.8942), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Podiatrist is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 10,498 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 304 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.
