KRISTIN SIMPSON, ARNP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Addiction (Substance Use Disorder) Registered Nurse provider holding ARNP credentials at 805 W 5TH AVE STE 619, SPOKANE, WA, 99204, with a listed phone of (509) 747-5773. NPI 1740746247 was issued on 02/20/2019. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what SIMPSON 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 1,226 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 300 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $366K in drug spend, split 18% brand-name and 82% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 8.2%. 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.

Addiction (Substance Use Disorder) Registered Nurse is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 2,764 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 955 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.
