Kelly O'Brien, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as an Internal Medicine Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 1701 SUNSET BLVD, Houston, TX, 77005, with a listed phone of (713) 526-5511. NPI 1982898631 was issued on 09/05/2007.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 6,912 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 518 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $582K in drug spend, split 15% brand-name and 83% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 2.5%. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider carries a Final Score of 75/100 for the 2023 performance year, but CMS published no Quality, Promoting Interoperability, Improvement Activity or Cost score: this is the neutral performance threshold CMS assigns where nothing was scored, so it is not comparable with clinicians whose score was measured.

Internal Medicine Physician is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 172,737 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 2,716 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
