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).

ALFREDO ARELLANO, PMHCNS-BC is a Psychiatric/Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist provider practicing in EL PASO, Texas, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: PMHCNS-BC. NPI: 1851558266. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

ALFREDO ARELLANO, PMHCNS-BC appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Psychiatric/Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist provider holding PMHCNS-BC credentials at 1122 MONTANA AVE STE A, EL PASO, TX, 79902, with a listed phone of (915) 307-5796. NPI 1851558266 was issued on 05/22/2008.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 1,735 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 147 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $663K in drug spend, split 10% brand-name and 90% generic by claim count.

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.
