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).

DIEGO JOSE LOPES DE LIMA, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Sports Medicine (Orthopaedic Surgery) Physician provider holding MD credentials at 875 MILITARY TRL STE 105, JUPITER, FL, 33458, with a listed phone of (561) 798-6600. NPI 1508354861 was issued on 04/23/2018.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 563 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 274 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $4K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 5.5%.

Sports Medicine (Orthopaedic Surgery) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 2,681 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 278 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.
