JOHNNY HOWELL, DO appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Physician provider holding DO credentials at 1751 VETERANS DR STE 300, FLORENCE, AL, 35630, with a listed phone of (256) 718-3200. NPI 1295794006 was issued on 03/21/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what HOWELL 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 1,080 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 234 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $16K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 41.2%. 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 73.7722/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 82.1804, Cost 36.3334), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 15,306 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 781 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.
