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).

AYO OKORO, FAMILY NURSE PRACTIT appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Registered Nurse provider holding FAMILY NURSE PRACTIT credentials at 14625 BALTIMORE AVENUE, LAUREL, MD, 20707, with a listed phone of (301) 256-8766. NPI 1972841856 was issued on 01/28/2013.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 535 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 37 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $19K in drug spend, split 3% brand-name and 97% generic by claim count.

Registered Nurse is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 175,652 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 1,000 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.
