NANCY PANKO, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Surgery Physician provider holding MD credentials at 825 SE BISHOP BLVD STE 130, PULLMAN, WA, 99163, with a listed phone of (509) 338-0632. NPI 1285076737 was issued on 07/25/2013. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what PANKO 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 161 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 79 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $10K in drug spend, split 16% brand-name and 84% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 12.4%. 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.

Surgery Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 36,191 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 169 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.
