CAROLYN ESTEPP, APRN appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner provider holding APRN credentials at 2195 HARRODSBURG RD STE 125, LEXINGTON, KY, 40504, with a listed phone of (859) 323-6371. NPI 1184872608 was issued on 09/09/2008. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what ESTEPP 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 3,916 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 201 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $343K in drug spend, split 10% brand-name and 90% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 2.2%. 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. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 85.0731/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 76.9639, Cost 64.5244), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 39,953 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 927 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.
