NANCY BUCHHOLZ, APNP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Orthopedic Registered Nurse provider holding APNP credentials at 2500 E CAPITOL DR, APPLETON, WI, 54911, with a listed phone of (920) 738-4600. NPI 1609067388 was issued on 08/07/2007. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what BUCHHOLZ 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 4,319 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 453 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $283K in drug spend, split 11% brand-name and 89% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 2.2%. 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.

Orthopedic Registered Nurse is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 283 enrolled providers across 48 states and an average of 568 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.
