RICHARD BLACKBURN, DMD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Dentistry provider holding DMD credentials at 3532 HOWARD AVE STE 200, LOS ALAMITOS, CA, 90720, with a listed phone of (562) 501-3188. NPI 1891215760 was issued on 06/22/2017. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what BLACKBURN 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 102 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 42 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $684 in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 15.7%. 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.

Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Dentistry is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 177 enrolled providers across 37 states and an average of 152 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.
