The Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) scores providers 0–100 across four performance categories: Quality, Cost, Promoting Interoperability, and Improvement Activities, weighted under 42 CFR §414.1380. Reporting is voluntary for many small practices, so absence of a MIPS score is not a quality signal.

Board certification through an ABMS or AOA member board signals voluntary post-licensure examination plus continuous Maintenance of Certification cycles. Verify any individual provider's status through certificationmatters.org (ABMS) or osteopathic.org (AOA).

KRISTEN SAWRUK, NURSE PRACTITIONER appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a General Practice Registered Nurse provider holding NURSE PRACTITIONER credentials at 500 OSBORN BLVD, SAULT SAINTE MARIE, MI, 49783, with a listed phone of (906) 253-2760. NPI 1326315003 was issued on 11/22/2011.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 5,237 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 236 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $550K in drug spend, split 13% brand-name and 87% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 1.6%. 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.

General Practice Registered Nurse is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 5,478 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 1,187 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.
