MARY JOY CARITOS, NP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Gerontology Nurse Practitioner provider holding NP credentials at 21724 RAVENNA AVE, CARSON, CA, 90745, with a listed phone of (310) 381-9381. NPI 1871208009 was issued on 01/23/2023. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what CARITOS 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 195 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 63 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $10K in drug spend, split 10% brand-name and 90% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 6.7%. 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.

Gerontology Nurse Practitioner is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 9,625 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 1,283 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
