PIPPA MACDONALD, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Neuromuscular Medicine (Psychiatry & Neurology) Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 501 SE 172ND AVE STE 220, VANCOUVER, WA, 98684, with a listed phone of (360) 882-2778. NPI 1053721571 was issued on 05/06/2014. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what MACDONALD 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 448 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 146 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $82K in drug spend, split 8% brand-name and 92% 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 45.2144/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 33.7558, Cost 63.8291), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Neuromuscular Medicine (Psychiatry & Neurology) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 336 enrolled providers across 44 states and an average of 931 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.
