GERTRUDE ORAKWUE, CNP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Gerontology Nurse Practitioner provider holding CNP credentials at 4762 MARTINGALE DR, WOODBURY, MN, 55129, with a listed phone of (612) 418-0243. NPI 1316596562 was issued on 09/10/2019. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what ORAKWUE 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 3,086 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 244 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $147K in drug spend, split 14% brand-name and 86% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 6.1%. 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.

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.
