Specialty board-certified rate — Registered Dietitian estimate
Board certification through an ABMS or AOA member board signals voluntary post-licensure examination plus Maintenance of Certification cycles. CMS does not publish a per-provider board-certification field; the figure shown is the specialty-level estimated rate from ABMS / AOA reference data.
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).
CRISTIE FAIRCLOTH, PA-C, RD, LDN appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Registered Dietitian provider holding PA-C, RD, LDN credentials at 10130 PERIMETER PKWY, CHARLOTTE, NC, 28216, with a listed phone of (888) 849-7379. NPI 1487800314 was issued on 08/12/2008.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 2,134 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 167 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $500K in drug spend, split 8% brand-name and 92% generic by claim count.
