Ariella Romero, FNP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Family Nurse Practitioner provider holding FNP credentials at 1238 W ORANGE GROVE RD STE 103, Tucson, AZ, 85704, with a listed phone of (520) 297-9060. NPI 1285042341 was issued on 07/31/2014. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what Romero 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 205 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 82 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $46K in drug spend, split 22% brand-name and 78% 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. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 79.3/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 78.9, Cost 66.3), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Family Nurse Practitioner is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 209,817 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 1,222 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
