JOY MCLAIN, APN appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Lactation Consultant (Registered Nurse) provider holding APN credentials at 320 BRISTOL WEST BLVD STE 2C, BRISTOL, TN, 37620, with a listed phone of (423) 844-1399. NPI 1730480724 was issued on 11/08/2010. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what MCLAIN 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 21 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 12 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1K in drug spend. 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.

Lactation Consultant (Registered Nurse) is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 3,799 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 560 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.
