BRIETTA ESTEP, APRN appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Nurse Practitioner provider holding APRN credentials at 115 LEE AVE STE 101, PIKEVILLE, KY, 41501, with a listed phone of (606) 727-5296. NPI 1073247938 was issued on 07/14/2022. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what ESTEP 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 276 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 164 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $4K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 7.2%. 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.
