Board certification

Not published by CMS

CMS does not publish a per-provider board-certification field in NPPES. PlainDoctor does not have a reliable per-specialty certification rate to show for Trauma Surgery Physician. Verify directly:

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).

Ashley Bugelholl, PA-C appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Trauma Surgery Physician provider holding PA-C credentials at 1000 E MOUNTAIN BLVD, Wilkes Barre, PA, 18711, with a listed phone of (570) 808-2340. NPI 1497363816 was issued on 07/22/2020. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what Bugelholl 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 74 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 34 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $934 in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 29.7%. 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.

Trauma Surgery Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 959 enrolled providers across 49 states and an average of 70 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.
