MELISSA KATH, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Plastic Surgery Physician provider holding MD credentials at 80 HUMPHREYS CENTER DR STE 100, MEMPHIS, TN, 38120, with a listed phone of (901) 761-9030. NPI 1538326434 was issued on 05/19/2008. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what KATH 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 25 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 14 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $214 in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 52.0%. 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.

Plastic Surgery Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 5,316 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 84 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.
