MELISSA JOHNSON, A.P.R.N. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Clinical Nurse Specialist provider holding A.P.R.N. credentials at 300 S 8TH ST STE 380W, MURRAY, KY, 42071, with a listed phone of (270) 753-0704. NPI 1104230598 was issued on 06/13/2014. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what JOHNSON 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 7,422 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 630 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $828K in drug spend, split 13% brand-name and 87% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 4.1%. 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 81.2538/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 76.8563, Cost 62.323), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Clinical Nurse Specialist is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,708 enrolled providers across 49 states and an average of 953 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.
