MARGARET LOWENSTEIN, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Addiction Medicine (Internal Medicine) Physician provider holding MD credentials at 51 N 39TH ST, PHILADELPHIA, PHILADELPHIA, PA, 19104, with a listed phone of (215) 662-3797. NPI 1326381872 was issued on 04/03/2013.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 158 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 17 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $24K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 8.9%. 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 85.4852/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 73.6095), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Addiction Medicine (Internal Medicine) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 553 enrolled providers across 46 states and an average of 1,403 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.
