MARIA PEREZ, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Acupuncturist provider holding M.D. credentials at 52 CALLE CELIS AGUILERA N, FAJARDO, PR, 00738, with a listed phone of (787) 860-4466. NPI 1396764056 was issued on 07/19/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what PEREZ 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 9,884 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 396 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $941K in drug spend, split 14% brand-name and 86% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 0.1%. 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.

Acupuncturist is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 33,269 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 797 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.

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.
