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).

DEBORAH DEXTER, SLPA appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Speech-Language Assistant provider holding SLPA credentials at 10089 CONCORDIA DR., ARIZONA CITY, AZ, 85123, with a listed phone of (520) 483-9843. NPI 1679855878 was issued on 09/13/2011. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what DEXTER most recently submitted to CMS rather than a vetted directory listing, which is why patients should always confirm the practice is still at this location before scheduling.

Medicare Part D prescribing data is not currently published for this NPI, which typically means the provider either wrote fewer than 11 Part D claims in the most recent reporting year, does not participate in Medicare, or practices in a specialty that rarely prescribes outpatient drugs. Absence of prescribing data is not a quality signal — many Speech-Language Assistant providers operate outside Part D entirely.

Speech-Language Assistant is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 12,869 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 1,150 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.
