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).

CRAIG CARMICHAEL, M.D. is a Interventional Pain Medicine Physician provider practicing in BLOOMINGTON, Illinois, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D.. NPI: 1497761100. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

CRAIG CARMICHAEL, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Interventional Pain Medicine Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 3801 GENERAL ELECTRIC RD STE 4, BLOOMINGTON, IL, 61704, with a listed phone of (309) 319-2341. NPI 1497761100 was issued on 08/01/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 799 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 138 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $32K in drug spend, split 6% brand-name and 94% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 76.1%.

Interventional Pain Medicine Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,528 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 2,197 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.
