Richard Babb, PA-C appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Surgical Physician Assistant provider holding PA-C credentials at 3024 NEW BERN AVE, Raleigh, NC, 27610, with a listed phone of (919) 350-5318. NPI 1851539993 was issued on 01/28/2009.

Medicare Part D prescribing data is not currently published for this NPI, which typically means the provider either wrote fewer than 11 Part D claims in the most recent reporting year, does not participate in Medicare, or practices in a specialty that rarely prescribes outpatient drugs. Absence of prescribing data is not a quality signal, many Surgical Physician Assistant providers operate outside Part D entirely. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 30/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 19.2, Cost 55.9), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Surgical Physician Assistant is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 16,119 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 316 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
