JEFFERSON EDWARDS, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Surgery Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 14540 OLD SAINT AUGUSTINE RD, JACKSONVILLE, FL, 32258, with a listed phone of (904) 886-2251. NPI 1518925395 was issued on 05/02/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what EDWARDS 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 83 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 58 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $511 in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 59.0%. 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 79.2624/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 64.4771), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Surgery Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 36,191 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 169 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.
