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).

JOSE CORTES is a Basic Emergency Medical Technician provider practicing in ROWLAND HEIGHTS, California, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). NPI: 1588371058.

JOSE CORTES appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Basic Emergency Medical Technician provider at 19321 ADDIS ST, ROWLAND HEIGHTS, CA, 91748, with a listed phone of (714) 492-4039. NPI 1588371058 was issued on 11/03/2022.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 305 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 177 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $4K in drug spend. These figures capture only Medicare Part D — commercial insurance, Medicaid, and cash-pay prescriptions are not included, and any drug-beneficiary cell under 11 is suppressed by CMS for patient privacy.

Basic Emergency Medical Technician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 2,039 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 341 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.
