MELISSA LORING appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Pharmacist provider at 226 HIGH ST, ELLSWORTH, ME, 04605, with a listed phone of (207) 664-0953. NPI 1609157791 was issued on 09/01/2011. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what LORING 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 29 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 29 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $9K in drug spend, split 100% brand-name and 0% generic by claim count. 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.

Pharmacist is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 290,447 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 135 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.
