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).

MICHAEL HOPKINS, M.D. is a General Practice Physician provider practicing in ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D..

MICHAEL HOPKINS, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a General Practice Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 2825 BROADBENT PKWY NE STE B, ALBUQUERQUE, NM, 87107, with a listed phone of (505) 235-3987. NPI 1497821581 was issued on 11/28/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 48 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 11 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1K in drug spend. These figures capture only Medicare Part D — commercial insurance, Medicaid, and cash-pay prescriptions are not included, and any drug-beneficiary cell under 11 is suppressed by CMS for patient privacy.

General Practice Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 16,677 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 2,872 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.
