JOHN VARGAS, D.O. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a General Practice Physician provider holding D.O. credentials at 2525 WASHINGTON ST, MIDLAND, MI, 48642, with a listed phone of (989) 832-8803. NPI 1063692044 was issued on 11/07/2007. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what VARGAS 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 14,224 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 456 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1.5 million in drug spend, split 14% brand-name and 86% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 17.0%. 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 22.5014/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 0, Cost 75.0045), compared with the national average of 83.1.

General Practice Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 16,677 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 2,872 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.
