LAREE SHULE, FNP-BC appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Critical Care Medicine Clinical Nurse Specialist provider holding FNP-BC credentials at 1490 E WALNUT ST, WATSEKA, IL, 60970, with a listed phone of (815) 432-7693. NPI 1629288816 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 SHULE 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 3,445 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 278 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $377K in drug spend, split 16% brand-name and 84% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 4.0%. 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 95.012/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 80.0239), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Critical Care Medicine Clinical Nurse Specialist is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 211 enrolled providers across 34 states and an average of 963 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.

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.
