TRICIA AMELUNG, FNP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Primary Care Nurse Practitioner provider holding FNP credentials at 23 N MAIN ST, HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SC, 29926, with a listed phone of (843) 816-7266. NPI 1902358393 was issued on 11/01/2016. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what AMELUNG 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 3,603 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 338 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $296K in drug spend, split 12% brand-name and 88% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 2.4%. 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 9.2544/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 0, Cost 30.848), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Primary Care Nurse Practitioner is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 10,138 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 1,363 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.
