ELLEN BATTISTA, NP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Rehabilitation Clinical Nurse Specialist provider holding NP credentials at 646 N FRENCH RD STE 7, AMHERST, NY, 14228, with a listed phone of (716) 833-8184. NPI 1780770024 was issued on 10/05/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what BATTISTA 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 463 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 140 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $45K in drug spend, split 10% brand-name and 90% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 39.1%. 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.

Rehabilitation Clinical Nurse Specialist is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 23 enrolled providers across 14 states and an average of 463 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.
