KAREN SASSO, CNS appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Women's Health Clinical Nurse Specialist provider holding CNS credentials at 4709 GOLF RD STE 1275, SKOKIE, IL, 60076, with a listed phone of (708) 499-9800. NPI 1265642466 was issued on 05/23/2007. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what SASSO 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 63 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 40 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $9K in drug spend, split 19% brand-name and 81% 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. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 56.2292/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 25.4575, Cost 29.473), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Women's Health Clinical Nurse Specialist is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 179 enrolled providers across 42 states and an average of 102 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.
