JENNIFER BALLESTEROS, F.N.P. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Family Nurse Practitioner provider holding F.N.P. credentials at 17218 N 72ND DR, GLENDALE, AZ, 85308, with a listed phone of (623) 334-8670. NPI 1265716187 was issued on 10/11/2011. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what BALLESTEROS 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 187 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 134 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 28.3%. 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. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 76.132/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 69.4336), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Family Nurse Practitioner is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 209,817 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 1,222 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
