ROBERT PAYNE, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Marriage & Family Therapist provider holding M.D. credentials at 4 CARRIAGE LN, CHARLESTON, SC, 29407, with a listed phone of (843) 763-2222. NPI 1013060573 was issued on 01/19/2007. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what PAYNE 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 323 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 37 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $7K in drug spend. 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.

Marriage & Family Therapist is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 87,139 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 217 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.
