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).

BARBARA MARIA PIMENTA FONTENELLE, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Neonatal/Pediatric Registered Respiratory Therapist provider holding M.D. credentials at 2525 S. MICHIGAN AVENUE - INSIGHT HOSPITAL & MEDICAL CE, CHICAGO, IL, 60616, with a listed phone of (312) 567-2397. NPI 1457244949 was issued on 06/02/2025. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what PIMENTA FONTENELLE 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 prescribing data is not currently published for this NPI, which typically means the provider either wrote fewer than 11 Part D claims in the most recent reporting year, does not participate in Medicare, or practices in a specialty that rarely prescribes outpatient drugs. Absence of prescribing data is not a quality signal — many Neonatal/Pediatric Registered Respiratory Therapist providers operate outside Part D entirely.

Neonatal/Pediatric Registered Respiratory Therapist is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 179 enrolled providers across 29 states and an average of 741 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.
