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).

AMBER GROVE DE ALENCAR, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Family Medicine Physician provider holding MD credentials at 9726 SAM FURR RD, HUNTERSVILLE, NC, 28078, with a listed phone of (704) 801-3310. NPI 1699039545 was issued on 06/26/2012.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 1,586 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 199 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $120K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 2.0%.

Family Medicine Physician is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 147,640 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 3,418 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.
