KARA COOPER, NP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Registered Nurse provider holding NP credentials at 2221 OAK ST, FOREST GROVE, OR, 97116, with a listed phone of (503) 372-6277. NPI 1023324415 was issued on 08/24/2010. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what COOPER 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 12,188 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 352 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $771K in drug spend, split 12% brand-name and 88% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 7.0%. 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 68.4697/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 65.9263, Cost 38.837), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Registered Nurse is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 175,652 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 1,000 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.
