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).

Israel Aviles Hernandez, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Spinal Cord Injury Medicine Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at CARR 2, KM 81, MARGINAL, REPARTO SAN MIGUEL, Arecibo, PR, 00612, with a listed phone of (787) 878-4143. NPI 1104839596 was issued on 08/15/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 932 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 267 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $12K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 22.3%.

Spinal Cord Injury Medicine Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 261 enrolled providers across 36 states and an average of 705 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.

Before you book an appointment

Use this federal record as your verification checklist, not as a recommendation.

  • Confirm the NPI record is current in the official CMS registry — providers update their own NPPES details, and moves can lag. Verify this NPI
  • Check the active license and any disciplinary history with the Puerto Rico medical board — federal registration is not a license check. Credential verification guide
  • Weigh a second option: compare this provider with a nearby Spinal Cord Injury Medicine Physician peer on Medicare volume and prescribing patterns. Compare providers
