Specialty board-certified rate — Adult Health Clinical Nurse Specialist estimate
Board certification through an ABMS or AOA member board signals voluntary post-licensure examination plus Maintenance of Certification cycles. CMS does not publish a per-provider board-certification field; the figure shown is the specialty-level estimated rate from ABMS / AOA reference data.
The Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) scores providers 0–100 across four performance categories: Quality, Cost, Promoting Interoperability, and Improvement Activities, weighted under 42 CFR §414.1380. Reporting is voluntary for many small practices, so absence of a MIPS score is not a quality signal.
Board certification through an ABMS or AOA member board signals voluntary post-licensure examination plus continuous Maintenance of Certification cycles. Verify any individual provider's status through certificationmatters.org (ABMS) or osteopathic.org (AOA).
DONNA BURROUGHS, APRN, CDE, CWCN appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Adult Health Clinical Nurse Specialist provider holding APRN, CDE, CWCN credentials at 100 HEALTHY WAY, ANDERSON, SC, 29621, with a listed phone of (864) 512-4160. NPI 1831213545 was issued on 03/19/2007.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 4,569 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 379 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $3.8 million in drug spend, split 64% brand-name and 36% 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.
Adult Health Clinical Nurse Specialist is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,375 enrolled providers across 49 states and an average of 1,088 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.
