VALERIE SHELBY, NP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Adult Medicine Physician provider holding NP credentials at 2301 S 56TH ST, FORT SMITH, AR, 72903, with a listed phone of (479) 461-0854. NPI 1205599917 was issued on 10/19/2021. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what SHELBY 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 795 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 348 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $15K in drug spend, split 7% brand-name and 93% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 1.4%. 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.

Adult Medicine Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 2,481 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 2,807 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline. Important: PlainDoctor is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a malpractice database, or a quality rating. 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.
