HEATHER GIRTEN, APRN appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Critical Care Medicine Registered Nurse provider holding APRN credentials at 3740 OLD HARTFORD RD, OWENSBORO, KY, 42303, with a listed phone of (270) 684-7259. NPI 1245866953 was issued on 03/14/2020. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what GIRTEN 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 1,211 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 139 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $56K in drug spend, split 15% brand-name and 85% 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.

Critical Care Medicine Registered Nurse is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 6,529 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 752 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.
