Sara Cox, MD, MPH appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Internal Medicine Physician provider holding MD, MPH credentials at 1700 UNIVERSITY AVE W, Saint Paul, MN, 55104, with a listed phone of (651) 232-2002. NPI 1073740668 was issued on 06/22/2009. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what Cox 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 8,837 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 403 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $697K in drug spend, split 11% brand-name and 89% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 1.2%. 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.

Internal Medicine Physician is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 172,858 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 2,716 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
