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).

CARLOS ALICEA, M.D. is a Psychiatry Physician provider practicing in EDINBURG, Texas, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D.. NPI: 1114331063. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry. Provider information is self-reported to CMS and updated monthly.

CARLOS ALICEA, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Psychiatry Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 1901 S 24TH AVE, EDINBURG, TX, 78539, with a listed phone of (956) 289-7000. NPI 1114331063 was issued on 06/19/2014.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 1,875 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 100 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $599K in drug spend, split 9% brand-name and 91% generic by claim count.

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.
