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).

KARLEE CARLIN appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Physician Assistant provider at 10574 JUSTIN DR, URBANDALE, IA, 50322, with a listed phone of (515) 499-4959. NPI 1679106801 was issued on 02/17/2020.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 155 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 17 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $16K in drug spend, split 17% brand-name and 83% generic by claim count.

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.
