MICHELLE THOMAS, PA-C appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Acupuncturist provider holding PA-C credentials at 1555 E RIVER RD, TUCSON, AZ, 85718, with a listed phone of (520) 661-2787. NPI 1235562083 was issued on 08/15/2013. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what THOMAS 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 301 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 112 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $4K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 45.2%. 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 83.1893/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 71.7442, Cost 72.2203), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Acupuncturist is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 33,269 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 797 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.
