NICOLE SHEFFER, OD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Pediatric Optometrist provider holding OD credentials at 12000 ELM CREEK BLVD N STE 100, MAPLE GROVE, MN, 55369, with a listed phone of (763) 416-7600. NPI 1366000879 was issued on 05/30/2019. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what SHEFFER 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 213 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 71 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $14K in drug spend, split 28% brand-name and 72% 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. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 79.8055/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 95.3713, Cost 48.147), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Pediatric Optometrist is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 316 enrolled providers across 43 states and an average of 184 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
