ANETTE MCGOWAN, NP-C, RN, MSN appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Neuroscience Clinical Nurse Specialist provider holding NP-C, RN, MSN credentials at 79430 HIGHWAY 111 STE 101, LA QUINTA, CA, 92253, with a listed phone of (760) 564-3533. NPI 1962478479 was issued on 02/24/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 880 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 213 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $224K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 7.6%. 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. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 84.9544/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 93.513, Cost 55.073), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Neuroscience Clinical Nurse Specialist is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 54 enrolled providers across 23 states and an average of 591 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
