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).

MANDY COTTEN, APRN, FNP-C appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Family Nurse Practitioner provider holding APRN, FNP-C credentials at 4224 PARK SPRINGS BLVD STE 100, ARLINGTON, TX, 76016, with a listed phone of (817) 467-7474. NPI 1669858320 was issued on 08/05/2015.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 797 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 172 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $74K in drug spend, split 11% brand-name and 89% 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.
