JOANN CAPUANO, NURSE PRACTITIONER appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Family Medicine Physician provider holding NURSE PRACTITIONER credentials at 516 MONTAUK HWY, EAST MORICHES, NY, 11940, with a listed phone of (631) 874-2900. NPI 1720165269 was issued on 11/01/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what CAPUANO 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 1,861 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 171 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $130K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 0.9%. 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 91.2532/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 74.9203), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Family Medicine Physician is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 147,640 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 3,418 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.

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.
