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).

Lourdes Mendez, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Student in an Organized Health Care Education/Training Program provider holding M.D. credentials at 330 BROOKLINE AVE, Boston, MA, 02215, with a listed phone of (617) 667-2189. NPI 1750540738 was issued on 06/05/2008.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 269 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 55 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $874K in drug spend, split 33% brand-name and 67% generic by claim count.

Student in an Organized Health Care Education/Training Program is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 331,761 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 459 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
