MELECIA HELWIG-HENSON, PA-C appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Physician Assistant provider holding PA-C credentials at 2700 LIGHTHOUSE PT E STE 260, BALTIMORE, MD, 21224, with a listed phone of (410) 801-6575. NPI 1255509733 was issued on 02/18/2008. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what HELWIG-HENSON 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 prescribing data is not currently published for this NPI, which typically means the provider either wrote fewer than 11 Part D claims in the most recent reporting year, does not participate in Medicare, or practices in a specialty that rarely prescribes outpatient drugs. Absence of prescribing data is not a quality signal — many Physician Assistant providers operate outside Part D entirely. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 83.581/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 75.1579, Cost 62.6456), 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.
