Joseph Smith, MHS/PA-C;MS/CCC-SLP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Speech-Language Pathologist provider holding MHS/PA-C;MS/CCC-SLP credentials at 4451 BAYOU BLVD, Pensacola, FL, 32503, with a listed phone of (850) 416-7619. NPI 1689083354 was issued on 08/07/2014. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what Smith 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 114 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 33 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $235K in drug spend, split 70% brand-name and 13% generic by claim count. 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 90.8/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 81.7), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Speech-Language Pathologist is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 188,278 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 323 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
