Shannon Hernandez, CNP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Family Nurse Practitioner provider holding CNP credentials at 711 W CHURCH ST, Carlsbad, NM, 88220, with a listed phone of (575) 725-5211. NPI 1083120760 was issued on 12/18/2017. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what Hernandez 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 1,896 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 95 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $182K in drug spend, split 13% brand-name and 85% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 0.8%. 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.

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.
