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.

HOLLY BACKE, CRNP is a Nurse Practitioner provider practicing in DECATUR, Alabama, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: CRNP. NPI: 1275166175. 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.
HOLLY BACKE, CRNP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Nurse Practitioner provider holding CRNP credentials at 1216 SOMERVILLE RD SE, DECATUR, AL, 35601, with a listed phone of (256) 340-0012. NPI 1275166175 was issued on 02/19/2020. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what BACKE 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 Nurse Practitioner providers operate outside Part D entirely. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 89.8729/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 83.236, Cost 62.3325), compared with the national average of 83.1.
Nurse Practitioner is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 87,227 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 1,084 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.
