RAFAEL LOPEZ BAQUERO, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Epilepsy Physician provider holding MD credentials at CENTRO MEDICO MENONITA CAYEY, CAYEY, PR, 00736, with a listed phone of (787) 692-9899. NPI 1548592744 was issued on 02/12/2010. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what LOPEZ BAQUERO 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 5,891 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 362 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $945K in drug spend, split 9% brand-name and 91% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 0.3%. 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.

Epilepsy Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 354 enrolled providers across 42 states and an average of 878 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.
