BRIAN SMITH, CRNA appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist provider holding CRNA credentials at 95 S PAGOSA BLVD, PAGOSA SPRINGS, CO, 81147, with a listed phone of (970) 731-3700. NPI 1750549390 was issued on 05/30/2008. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what SMITH 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.

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.

Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 62,433 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 282 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
