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).

CRISTINA ANGELO, MD is a Internal Medicine Physician provider practicing in ALLENTOWN, Pennsylvania, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: MD. NPI: 1972090058. 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.

CRISTINA ANGELO, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Internal Medicine Physician provider holding MD credentials at 1501 N CEDAR CREST BLVD STE 110, ALLENTOWN, PA, 18104, with a listed phone of (610) 969-4370. NPI 1972090058 was issued on 04/15/2018.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 62 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 22 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $81K in drug spend, split 31% brand-name and 69% generic by claim count. 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.

Internal Medicine Physician is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 172,858 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 2,716 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.
