Ralph Irvin, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Pain Medicine Physician provider holding MD credentials at 820 S UNIVERSITY BLVD BLDG 1, Mobile, AL, 36609, with a listed phone of (251) 660-5900. NPI 1760482111 was issued on 07/28/2005. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what Irvin 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 12,400 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 600 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $840K in drug spend, split 3% brand-name and 97% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 45.6%. 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.

Pain Medicine Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 951 enrolled providers across 49 states and an average of 2,078 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
