TARA BLAIR, DNP, APRN, CCNS appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Critical Care Medicine Clinical Nurse Specialist provider holding DNP, APRN, CCNS credentials at 227 FALCON DR STE 101, MT STERLING, KY, 40353, with a listed phone of (859) 497-5135. NPI 1265877989 was issued on 05/08/2013. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what BLAIR 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 247 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 77 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $36K in drug spend, split 18% brand-name and 82% 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.

Critical Care Medicine Clinical Nurse Specialist is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 211 enrolled providers across 34 states and an average of 963 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.
