MIPS final score (Physician Assistant) — 84.954/100 vs national avg 83.1

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).

OSCAR LUCAR, PA appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Physician Assistant provider holding PA credentials at 2910 BETTEN DR, CRETE, NE, 68333, with a listed phone of (402) 826-2102. NPI 1699010702 was issued on 11/29/2012.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 454 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 177 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $27K in drug spend, split 11% brand-name and 89% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 21.4%. 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. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 84.954/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 94.7896, Cost 55.0569), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Physician Assistant is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 149,975 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 790 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.
