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).

CARMEN AMARAL, MD is a Ophthalmology Physician provider practicing in SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: MD.

CARMEN AMARAL, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Ophthalmology Physician provider holding MD credentials at 71 CALLE ARZUAGA, SAN JUAN, PR, 00925, with a listed phone of (787) 765-5150. NPI 1114915311 was issued on 10/11/2005.
