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).

SARA CULHANE, DNP, APNP, ANP-C appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Nurse Practitioner provider holding DNP, APNP, ANP-C credentials at 617 W CLAIREMONT AVE, EAU CLAIRE, WI, 54701, with a listed phone of (715) 834-2788. NPI 1528315116 was issued on 08/14/2012.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 452 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 231 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $13K in drug spend.

Nurse Practitioner is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 87,227 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 1,084 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.
