PATRICIA HERRON, APRN, BC, CNS appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Adult Psychiatric/Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist provider holding APRN, BC, CNS credentials at 520 NW 5TH ST, BRAINERD, MN, 56401, with a listed phone of (218) 829-3235. NPI 1851457782 was issued on 12/28/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what HERRON 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 130 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 11 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $2K in drug spend. 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.

Adult Psychiatric/Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 953 enrolled providers across 51 states and an average of 1,309 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.
