JULIE DUQUETTE, M.D. is a Dermatopathology (Pathology) Physician provider practicing in NEWPORT BEACH, California, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D.. NPI: 1659471498. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry. Provider information is self-reported to CMS and updated monthly.
JULIE DUQUETTE, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Dermatopathology (Pathology) Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 2043 WESTCLIFF DR, NEWPORT BEACH, CA, 92660, with a listed phone of (949) 515-3462. NPI 1659471498 was issued on 09/22/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what DUQUETTE 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 prescribing data is not currently published for this NPI, which typically means the provider either wrote fewer than 11 Part D claims in the most recent reporting year, does not participate in Medicare, or practices in a specialty that rarely prescribes outpatient drugs. Absence of prescribing data is not a quality signal — many Dermatopathology (Pathology) Physician providers operate outside Part D entirely. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 99.1275/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 85.2396), compared with the national average of 83.1.
Dermatopathology (Pathology) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 559 enrolled providers across 49 states and an average of 369 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.
