MICHAEL DIGBY, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Dermatology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 212 AIRPORT RD W, FORT PAYNE, AL, 35968, with a listed phone of (256) 979-1250. NPI 1871758938 was issued on 07/28/2008. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what DIGBY 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 446 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 254 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $77K in drug spend, split 4% brand-name and 96% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 10.3%. 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. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 85.2231/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 84.042), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Dermatology Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 14,610 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 729 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.
