JEFFREY ALBAUGH, PHD, APRN, CUCNS appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Clinical Nurse Specialist provider holding PHD, APRN, CUCNS credentials at 2100 PFINGSTEN RD, GLENVIEW, IL, 60026, with a listed phone of (847) 657-5730. NPI 1801967229 was issued on 11/10/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what ALBAUGH 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 prescribing data is not currently published for this NPI, which typically means the provider either wrote fewer than 11 Part D claims in the most recent reporting year, does not participate in Medicare, or practices in a specialty that rarely prescribes outpatient drugs. Absence of prescribing data is not a quality signal — many Clinical Nurse Specialist providers operate outside Part D entirely. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 93.0872/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 80.7919), compared with the national average of 83.1.
Clinical Nurse Specialist is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,708 enrolled providers across 49 states and an average of 953 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.
