PAULINA CRUZ-VENEGAS, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a General Practice Physician provider holding MD credentials at 1325 RALPH DAVID ABERNATHY BLVD SW, ATLANTA, GA, 30310, with a listed phone of (404) 836-0136. NPI 1376021642 was issued on 07/30/2018. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what CRUZ-VENEGAS 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 2,127 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 448 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $111K 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 90.8/100 for the 2023 performance year, compared with the national average of 83.1.

General Practice Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 16,677 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 2,872 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
