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).

CARA GOO, DO, DAOM, LAC appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Acupuncturist provider holding DO, DAOM, LAC credentials at 169 RIVERSIDE DR, BINGHAMTON, NY, 13905, with a listed phone of (607) 798-5897. NPI 1538544119 was issued on 07/24/2015.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 124 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 24 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $15K in drug spend. 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.

Acupuncturist is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 33,269 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 797 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.
