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).

KRISTEN PROVERB, MSN RN NPC appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Critical Care Medicine Nurse Practitioner provider holding MSN RN NPC credentials at 222 MERRIMACK ST, LOWELL, MA, 01852, with a listed phone of (978) 454-0706. NPI 1992867873 was issued on 12/15/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 300 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 123 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $2K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 42.0%.

Critical Care Medicine Nurse Practitioner is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,410 enrolled providers across 50 states and an average of 426 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.
