REGINA GARCIA, APRN, FNP-C appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Family Nurse Practitioner provider holding APRN, FNP-C credentials at 3419 22ND ST, LUBBOCK, TX, 79410, with a listed phone of (806) 796-3000. NPI 1255977161 was issued on 11/26/2019. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what GARCIA 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 1,165 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 335 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $39K in drug spend, split 3% brand-name and 97% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 29.3%. 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 59.559/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 59.124, Cost 19.406), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Family Nurse Practitioner is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 209,817 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 1,222 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
