JOSEPH MOSQUERA, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Legal Medicine provider holding M.D. credentials at 137 PROSPECT ST, NEWARK, NJ, 07105, with a listed phone of (603) 502-5959. NPI 1588719587 was issued on 01/23/2007. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what MOSQUERA 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 487 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 59 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $66K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 3.1%. 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.

Legal Medicine is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,067 enrolled providers across 51 states and an average of 2,821 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.
