DUSTIN THOMPSON, APRN appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Gerontology Nurse Practitioner provider holding APRN credentials at 5925 OLD HWY 60 WEST, PADUCAH, KY, 42001, with a listed phone of (270) 228-0118. NPI 1841643202 was issued on 07/20/2016. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what THOMPSON 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 4,483 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 565 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $264K in drug spend, split 5% brand-name and 95% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 27.6%. 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.

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.
