KIMBERLY NORWOOD, PA-C appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Physician Assistant provider holding PA-C credentials at 1325 E FORTIFICATION ST, JACKSON, MS, 39202, with a listed phone of (601) 354-4488. NPI 1598123739 was issued on 02/02/2016.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 425 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 228 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $5K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 12.9%. 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 84.4681/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 83.7602), compared with the national average of 83.1.

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.
