Specialty board-certified rate — Family Health Clinical Nurse Specialist estimate
Board certification through an ABMS or AOA member board signals voluntary post-licensure examination plus Maintenance of Certification cycles. CMS does not publish a per-provider board-certification field; the figure shown is the specialty-level estimated rate from ABMS / AOA reference data.
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).
SANDRA MCGUIRE, NPC appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Family Health Clinical Nurse Specialist provider holding NPC credentials at 507 CENTRAL AVENUE, DOLORES, CO, 81323, with a listed phone of (970) 882-7221. NPI 1194064634 was issued on 02/04/2013.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 793 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 89 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $24K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 21.9%.

Family Health Clinical Nurse Specialist is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 589 enrolled providers across 48 states and an average of 1,429 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.
