DESIREE GAGNER-TJELLESEN, RNCS,APRN,BC appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Clinical Nurse Specialist provider holding RNCS,APRN,BC credentials at 151 S 4TH ST, GRAND FORKS, ND, 58201, with a listed phone of (701) 795-3000. NPI 1518906437 was issued on 06/06/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what GAGNER-TJELLESEN 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 2,578 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 74 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $357K 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.

Clinical Nurse Specialist is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,708 enrolled providers across 49 states and an average of 953 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.
