JUSTIN MCGONIGAL, PA-C appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Physician Assistant provider holding PA-C credentials at 171 ASHLEY AVE, CHARLESTON, SC, 29425, with a listed phone of (843) 792-1414. NPI 1972262368 was issued on 12/13/2021. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what MCGONIGAL 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 3,386 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 281 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $405K in drug spend, split 17% brand-name and 83% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 3.7%. 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.

Physician Assistant is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 149,975 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 790 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.
