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).

MARCO CHAVARRIA-AGUILAR, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Colon & Rectal Surgery Physician provider holding MD credentials at 1409 ASHEVILLE HWY, BREVARD, NC, 28712, with a listed phone of (828) 435-8490. NPI 1245224989 was issued on 09/08/2005.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 178 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 109 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $8K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 52.8%.

Colon & Rectal Surgery Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,608 enrolled providers across 50 states and an average of 196 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.
