🔎 Data Overview
This provider appears on the federal OIG exclusion list, meaning they have been formally barred from participating in federal healthcare programs due to fraud, patient abuse, licensing issues, or other misconduct. The fact that they still appear in active prescribing data is a significant concern.
Opioid prescribing rate is 744% above the average for Nurse Practitioner providers. While some providers legitimately treat pain-heavy populations, deviations of this magnitude are rare and warrant examination.
