Heather Gutierrez, PA-S appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Student in an Organized Health Care Education/Training Program provider holding PA-S credentials at 912 32ND ST, Anacortes, WA, 98221, with a listed phone of (360) 293-4343. NPI 1174972822 was issued on 06/03/2016. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what Gutierrez 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 4,840 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 499 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $301K in drug spend, split 9% brand-name and 91% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 5.5%. 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.

Student in an Organized Health Care Education/Training Program is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 331,761 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 459 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
