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).

LAURA DOTSON is a Adult Health Nurse Practitioner provider practicing in PRICE, Utah, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). NPI: 1699345264. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry. Provider information is self-reported to CMS and updated monthly.

LAURA DOTSON appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Adult Health Nurse Practitioner provider at 690 E MAIN STREET, PRICE, UT, 84501, with a listed phone of (435) 820-1683. NPI 1699345264 was issued on 06/28/2021. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what DOTSON 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 237 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 26 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $65K in drug spend, split 11% brand-name and 89% generic by claim count.

Adult Health Nurse Practitioner is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 29,492 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 1,201 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.
