KIMBERLEY HERNER, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Obstetrics Physician provider holding MD credentials at 9245 RAINIER AVE S, SEATTLE, WA, 98118, with a listed phone of (206) 548-5850. NPI 1740202514 was issued on 07/24/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what HERNER 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 917 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 61 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $50K in drug spend, split 9% brand-name and 91% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 8.7%. 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.

Obstetrics Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,402 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 319 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.
