PAUL GALANTE, DDS appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (D.M.D.) provider holding DDS credentials at 2701 HIGHWAY 70, MANASQUAN, NJ, 08736, with a listed phone of (732) 528-8131. NPI 1417929852 was issued on 02/01/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what GALANTE 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 523 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 150 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $2K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 21.0%. 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.

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (D.M.D.) is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,112 enrolled providers across 52 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.
