BRUCE DYER, APN appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Adult Health Nurse Practitioner provider holding APN credentials at 1508 TOMBRAS AVE, EAST RIDGE, TN, 37412, with a listed phone of (423) 867-4969. NPI 1417187626 was issued on 07/22/2009. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what DYER 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 1,981 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 148 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $170K in drug spend, split 17% brand-name and 83% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 15.8%. 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 66.4834/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 51.4001, Cost 39.3015), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Adult Health Nurse Practitioner is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 29,492 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 1,201 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.
