MIPS final score (Acute Care Nurse Practitioner) — 69.1564/100 vs national avg 83.1

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).

JESSICA HEPNER, NP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Acute Care Nurse Practitioner provider holding NP credentials at 12605 E 16TH AVE, AURORA, CO, 80045, with a listed phone of (720) 848-0000. NPI 1497192611 was issued on 05/29/2013. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what HEPNER 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 records for calendar year 2023 show 153 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 59 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $35K in drug spend, split 41% brand-name and 59% generic by claim count.

On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 69.1564/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 83.5606, Cost 23.6274), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Acute Care Nurse Practitioner is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 24,583 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 576 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.
