MELISSA MERRILL, CNM, WHNP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Advanced Practice Midwife provider holding CNM, WHNP credentials at 132 5TH AVE W, JEROME, ID, 83338, with a listed phone of (208) 324-5286. NPI 1043459696 was issued on 02/05/2009. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what MERRILL 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 16 prescription claims written by this provider, covering N/A Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $178 in drug spend. 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 78.858/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 81.5861, Cost 47.9407), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Advanced Practice Midwife is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 10,893 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 99 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.
