The Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) scores providers 0–100 across four performance categories: Quality, Cost, Promoting Interoperability, and Improvement Activities, weighted under 42 CFR §414.1380. Reporting is voluntary for many small practices, so absence of a MIPS score is not a quality signal.

Board certification through an ABMS or AOA member board signals voluntary post-licensure examination plus continuous Maintenance of Certification cycles. Verify any individual provider's status through certificationmatters.org (ABMS) or osteopathic.org (AOA).

Aileen Grace Cielo, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Nephrology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 1400 E KINCAID ST, Mount Vernon, WA, 98274, with a listed phone of (360) 814-2550. NPI 1437380888 was issued on 08/03/2009.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 1,614 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 366 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $186K in drug spend, split 11% brand-name and 89% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 0.9%. 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 96.1/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 92.2), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Nephrology Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 10,534 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 1,454 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.
