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).

CHARLES LEE, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Addiction Medicine (Anesthesiology) Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 4025 PEPPERWOOD CIR SW STE C, HUNTSVILLE, AL, 35801, with a listed phone of (256) 715-8193. NPI 1255310363 was issued on 01/17/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 153 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 45 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $2K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 27.5%.

Addiction Medicine (Anesthesiology) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 129 enrolled providers across 36 states and an average of 814 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.
