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).

MELISSA SPRINKLE, CNP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Obstetrics & Gynecology Nurse Practitioner provider holding CNP credentials at 2000 W 21ST ST, CLOVIS, NM, 88101, with a listed phone of (575) 762-8055. NPI 1821492638 was issued on 10/22/2014.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 196 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 59 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $12K in drug spend, split 7% brand-name and 93% generic by claim count.

Obstetrics & Gynecology Nurse Practitioner is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 2,864 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 232 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.
