Heather Whaley, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Pain Medicine (Anesthesiology) Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 108 N SHACKLEFORD RD, Little Rock, AR, 72211, with a listed phone of (501) 712-2571. NPI 1487098190 was issued on 04/24/2013.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 6,207 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 765 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $211K in drug spend, split 2% brand-name and 98% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 49.0%. 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.

Pain Medicine (Anesthesiology) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 4,032 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 1,657 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
