BRANDON NELSON, FNP-C appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Nurse Practitioner provider holding FNP-C credentials at 30 DUKE MEDICINE CIR # 1A, DURHAM, NC, 27710, with a listed phone of (919) 668-5360. NPI 1881018695 was issued on 02/13/2014. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what NELSON 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 617 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 76 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $237K in drug spend, split 37% brand-name and 63% 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.

Nurse Practitioner is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 87,227 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 1,084 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.
