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).

NICOLE LUGO SANTIAGO, MD, FACOG appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Gynecologic Oncology Physician provider holding MD, FACOG credentials at 735 AVE PONCE DE LEON, SAN JUAN, PR, 00917, with a listed phone of (866) 600-2273. NPI 1720513146 was issued on 04/23/2017.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 100 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 47 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $7K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 25.0%.
