KAREN MEYER, DO appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Hospice and Palliative Medicine (Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation) Physician provider holding DO credentials at 1501 W CHISHOLM ST, ALPENA, MI, 49707, with a listed phone of (989) 356-8125. NPI 1831304690 was issued on 05/14/2007. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what MEYER 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 834 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 69 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $66K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 52.3%. 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 77.8941/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 84.4366, Cost 37.0348), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Hospice and Palliative Medicine (Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 96 enrolled providers across 31 states and an average of 3,130 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.
