Specialty board-certified rate — Acute Care Nurse Practitioner 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).
GITANJALI SHARMA, ACNP-BC appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Acute Care Nurse Practitioner provider holding ACNP-BC credentials at 3920 S 1100 E, SALT LAKE CITY, UT, 84124, with a listed phone of (801) 308-8400. NPI 1497164180 was issued on 08/06/2014.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 1,665 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 59 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $58K in drug spend, split 3% brand-name and 97% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 30.7%. 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.
Acute Care Nurse Practitioner is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 24,583 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 576 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.
