Kathy McKinney, DNP, FNP-C, WHNP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Family Nurse Practitioner provider holding DNP, FNP-C, WHNP credentials at 2139 N 12TH ST STE 6, Grand Junction, CO, 81501, with a listed phone of (970) 697-8678. NPI 1295258481 was issued on 07/19/2017. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what McKinney 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 1,789 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 100 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $87K in drug spend, split 5% brand-name and 95% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 57.7%. 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.

Family Nurse Practitioner is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 209,817 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 1,222 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
