PATRICIA PORTER, APRN appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Community Health Registered Nurse provider holding APRN credentials at 2070 NORTHBROOK BLVD, NORTH CHARLESTON, SC, 29406, with a listed phone of (843) 953-4302. NPI 1437558228 was issued on 08/18/2014. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what PORTER 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 92 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 24 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $14K in drug spend, split 12% brand-name and 88% 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.

Community Health Registered Nurse is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 7,585 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 918 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.
