JOANN AHERN, APRN appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Medical-Surgical Clinical Nurse Specialist provider holding APRN credentials at 79 SAND PIT RD, DANBURY, CT, 06810, with a listed phone of (203) 749-5754. NPI 1770566317 was issued on 11/29/2005. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what AHERN 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 53 prescription claims written by this provider, covering N/A Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $40K in drug spend, split 87% brand-name and 13% 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.

Medical-Surgical Clinical Nurse Specialist is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 281 enrolled providers across 39 states and an average of 570 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.
