MELISSA KESTER, DNP, ARNP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner provider holding DNP, ARNP credentials at 901 BOREN AVE STE 1520, SEATTLE, WA, 98104, with a listed phone of (206) 292-0700. NPI 1053712513 was issued on 09/15/2014. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what KESTER 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 1,072 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 121 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $126K in drug spend, split 14% brand-name and 86% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 1.0%. 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.

Pediatric Nurse Practitioner is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 21,082 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 312 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.
