ROBERT KARR, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Forensic Psychiatry Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at NORTH EAST AREA OFFICE, TEWKSBURY, MA, 01876, with a listed phone of (978) 863-5054. NPI 1316002884 was issued on 12/26/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what KARR 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 2,272 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 148 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $138K in drug spend, split 2% brand-name and 98% 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 94.07/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 77.6779, Cost 100), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Forensic Psychiatry Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 841 enrolled providers across 47 states and an average of 869 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.
