MICHAEL PICKFORD, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Sleep Medicine (Otolaryngology) Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 3855 PLEASANT HILL RD, DULUTH, GA, 30096, with a listed phone of (678) 312-7390. NPI 1013915586 was issued on 07/08/2005. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what PICKFORD 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 81 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 44 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1K in drug spend. 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 61.674/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 48.4086, Cost 66.831), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Sleep Medicine (Otolaryngology) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 98 enrolled providers across 29 states and an average of 543 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.
