LESLIE CARTAGENA, FNP-C appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Registered Nurse provider holding FNP-C credentials at 55 FRUIT ST, BOSTON, MA, 02114, with a listed phone of (617) 726-1349. NPI 1598278855 was issued on 11/08/2017. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what CARTAGENA 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 392 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 105 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $22K in drug spend, split 6% brand-name and 94% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 48.7%. 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.

Registered Nurse is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 175,652 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 1,000 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.
