VALERIE HOLMES, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Psychiatry Physician provider holding MD credentials at 4102 BEN FRANKLIN BLVD, DURHAM, NC, 27704, with a listed phone of (919) 972-7700. NPI 1871602532 was issued on 08/29/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what HOLMES 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 239 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 12 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $7K in drug spend, split 8% brand-name and 92% generic by claim count. 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.

Psychiatry Physician is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 53,104 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 1,038 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.
