PATRICIA BEAM, ACNP-BC appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Acute Care Nurse Practitioner provider holding ACNP-BC credentials at 2601 VILLAGE PROFESSIONAL DR N, OPELIKA, AL, 36801, with a listed phone of (334) 528-5400. NPI 1699009514 was issued on 09/24/2009. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what BEAM 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 6,174 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 977 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1.2 million in drug spend, split 21% brand-name and 79% 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 84.0422/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 67.8661, Cost 78.9411), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Acute Care Nurse Practitioner is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 24,583 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 576 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.
