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.

CASSANDRA HEADLEY, AA-C is a Anesthesiologist Assistant provider practicing in RALEIGH, North Carolina, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: AA-C. NPI: 1881095701. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

CASSANDRA HEADLEY, AA-C appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Anesthesiologist Assistant provider holding AA-C credentials at 3000 NEW BERN AVE, RALEIGH, NC, 27610, with a listed phone of (919) 350-8000. NPI 1881095701 was issued on 09/10/2014. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what HEADLEY 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 Anesthesiologist Assistant providers operate outside Part D entirely. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 89.8973/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 75.7557), compared with the national average of 83.1.
Anesthesiologist Assistant is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 4,441 enrolled providers across 41 states and an average of 314 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.
