BRADLEY ESPESETH, NP-C appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Registered Nurse provider holding NP-C credentials at 516 E NIZHONI BLVD, GALLUP, NM, 87301, with a listed phone of (505) 722-1000. NPI 1740463876 was issued on 12/12/2007. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what ESPESETH 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 998 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 210 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $146K in drug spend, split 14% brand-name and 86% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 7.3%. 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. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 83.8451/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 84.5974, Cost 58.6394), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Registered Nurse is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 175,652 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 1,000 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.
