BELINDA LAFFERTY, NP-C appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Perinatal Registered Nurse provider holding NP-C credentials at 1001 STURDY RD, VALPARAISO, IN, 46383, with a listed phone of (219) 462-7173. NPI 1568632339 was issued on 03/07/2008. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what LAFFERTY 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 236 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 24 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $227K in drug spend, split 12% brand-name and 88% 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.

Perinatal Registered Nurse is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 154 enrolled providers across 35 states and an average of 506 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.
