PAULA DUNSKIS, APN appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Acute Care Clinical Nurse Specialist provider holding APN credentials at 259 E ERIE ST, CHICAGO, IL, 60611, with a listed phone of (312) 695-6868. NPI 1447566807 was issued on 08/24/2010. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what DUNSKIS 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 332 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 137 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $159K in drug spend, split 34% brand-name and 66% 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.

Acute Care Clinical Nurse Specialist is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 510 enrolled providers across 47 states and an average of 773 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.

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.
