SHELBY TUNGATE LOPEZ, PHARMD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Ambulatory Care Pharmacist provider holding PHARMD credentials at 100 EASTOWNE DRIVE, CHAPEL HILL, NC, 27514, with a listed phone of (984) 974-1715. NPI 1346978368 was issued on 08/09/2022. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what TUNGATE LOPEZ 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 395 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 86 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $114K in drug spend, split 28% brand-name and 72% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 26.3%. 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.

Ambulatory Care Pharmacist is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 3,473 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 492 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.
