NICHOLAS MICHEL, DO appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Orthopaedic Surgery Physician provider holding DO credentials at 1000 HARRINGTON ST, MOUNT CLEMENS, MI, 48043, with a listed phone of (586) 493-8000. NPI 1043760754 was issued on 10/05/2016. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what MICHEL 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 201 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 145 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $3K in drug spend, split 5% brand-name and 95% 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. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 77.2646/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 82.2475, Cost 41.968), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Orthopaedic Surgery Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 25,781 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 324 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.
