DANA BRIGHT, NP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Gerontology Nurse Practitioner provider holding NP credentials at 8311 WARREN H ABERNATHY HWY, SPARTANBURG, SC, 29301, with a listed phone of (864) 560-9435. NPI 1497166318 was issued on 05/13/2014. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what BRIGHT 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 2,487 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 1,063 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $92K in drug spend, split 9% brand-name and 91% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 0.9%. 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. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 96.0864/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 92.1728), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Gerontology Nurse Practitioner is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 9,625 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 1,283 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.
