MICHAEL SANTILLAN, PA-C, CAQ-PSYCH appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Psychiatric/Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist provider holding PA-C, CAQ-PSYCH credentials at 26024 ACERO, MISSION VIEJO, CA, 92691, with a listed phone of (714) 545-5550. NPI 1861139628 was issued on 05/13/2022. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what SANTILLAN 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 864 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 68 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $347K in drug spend, split 12% brand-name and 88% generic by claim count. 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.

Psychiatric/Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 980 enrolled providers across 50 states and an average of 1,050 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.
