Melissa Brand, CPHT appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Pharmacy Technician provider holding CPHT credentials at 500 N 5TH ST, Hot Springs, SD, 57747, with a listed phone of (605) 745-2000. NPI 1174804652 was issued on 08/29/2011. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what Brand 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 Pharmacy Technician providers operate outside Part D entirely.

Pharmacy Technician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 12,030 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 368 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.
