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).

CLAIRE ABRAHAM is a Physician Assistant provider practicing in CARSON CITY, Michigan, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). NPI: 1356898407. 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.

CLAIRE ABRAHAM appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Physician Assistant provider at 245 S 2ND ST, CARSON CITY, MI, 48811, with a listed phone of (989) 584-3981. NPI 1356898407 was issued on 09/07/2016.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 687 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 254 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $6K in drug spend, split 2% brand-name and 98% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 44.1%. 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.

Physician Assistant is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 149,975 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 790 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.
