CAROLYN PRATHER, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Registered Nurse provider holding MSN, APRN, FNP-BC credentials at 6055 W 46TH AVE STE A, WHEAT RIDGE, CO, 80033, with a listed phone of (303) 423-8017. NPI 1780220111 was issued on 11/20/2019. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what PRATHER 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 493 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 70 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $60K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 4.9%. 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.

Registered Nurse is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 175,652 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 1,000 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.

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.
