SAMUEL FOSTER, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Pediatric Allergy/Immunology Physician provider holding MD credentials at 2617 SCRIPTURE ST, DENTON, TX, 76201, with a listed phone of (940) 382-4142. NPI 1801958236 was issued on 12/14/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what FOSTER 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 1,949 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 288 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1.8 million 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. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 26.4653/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 0, Cost 88.2176), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Pediatric Allergy/Immunology Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 419 enrolled providers across 43 states and an average of 345 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.
