CHERIE SIMPSON, RN, CNS appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Geropsychiatric Psychiatric/Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist provider holding RN, CNS credentials at 3215 STECK AVE, AUSTIN, TX, 78757, with a listed phone of (512) 476-3556. NPI 1720030307 was issued on 05/16/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what SIMPSON 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 5,948 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 606 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $399K in drug spend, split 5% brand-name and 95% generic by claim count. 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 64.7778/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 80.5883, Cost 32.0044), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Geropsychiatric Psychiatric/Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 45 enrolled providers across 22 states and an average of 1,223 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.
