JOSHUA SMITH, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Plastic Surgery within the Head & Neck (Otolaryngology) Physician provider holding MD credentials at 4100 ALLEQUIPPA ST., PITTSBURGH, PA, 15240, with a listed phone of (412) 822-2222. NPI 1770140766 was issued on 05/24/2019. 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 49 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 34 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $728 in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 24.5%. 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.

Plastic Surgery within the Head & Neck (Otolaryngology) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 608 enrolled providers across 48 states and an average of 379 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.
