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).

FRANCISCO ALEMAN, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Family Medicine Physician provider holding MD credentials at 5001 LAKE AVE, SAINT JOSEPH, MO, 64504, with a listed phone of (816) 238-7788. NPI 1356618177 was issued on 11/22/2011.
