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).

AURELIO CASTRELLON, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Hematology & Oncology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 603 N FLAMINGO RD, PEMBROKE PINES, FL, 33028, with a listed phone of (954) 265-4325. NPI 1770792152 was issued on 05/22/2007.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 1,121 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 225 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $571K in drug spend, split 7% brand-name and 93% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 7.0%.

Important: PlainDoctor is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a malpractice database, or a quality rating.
