SCOTT MACDONALD, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Clinical Informatics Physician provider holding MD credentials at 3160 FOLSOM BLVD STE 300, SACRAMENTO, CA, 95816, with a listed phone of (916) 734-7777. NPI 1518940006 was issued on 11/29/2005. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what MACDONALD 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 443 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 146 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $60K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 5.6%. 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.

Clinical Informatics Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 80 enrolled providers across 23 states and an average of 625 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.
