CHRISTINE AVINGER, MSN ACNP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Nephrology Registered Nurse provider holding MSN ACNP credentials at 124 S UNIVERSITY BLVD STE A, MOBILE, AL, 36608, with a listed phone of (251) 343-5004. NPI 1528269321 was issued on 05/30/2007. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what AVINGER 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 1,417 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 203 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $112K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 2.9%. 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.

Nephrology Registered Nurse is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 134 enrolled providers across 37 states and an average of 633 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.
