Specialty board-certified rate — Microbiology Specialist/Technologist 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).

FRANCES VALENCIA-SHELTON, PHD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Microbiology Specialist/Technologist provider holding PHD credentials at 800 PRUDENTIAL DR, JACKSONVILLE, FL, 32207, with a listed phone of (904) 202-2166. NPI 1477172690 was issued on 04/09/2020. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what VALENCIA-SHELTON 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 Microbiology Specialist/Technologist providers operate outside Part D entirely.
Microbiology Specialist/Technologist is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 67 enrolled providers across 20 states, 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.
