JAMES FISH, D.O. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Orthopaedic Surgery of the Spine Physician provider holding D.O. credentials at 300 STONECREST BLVD STE 230, SMYRNA, TN, 37167, with a listed phone of (615) 730-8626. NPI 1821046459 was issued on 05/05/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what FISH 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 1,156 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 289 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $24K in drug spend, split 1% brand-name and 99% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 36.9%. 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.

Orthopaedic Surgery of the Spine Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,773 enrolled providers across 51 states and an average of 362 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.

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.
