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).

STARLA GRABER, M.D. is a Obstetrics Physician provider practicing in ELKHART, Indiana, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D.. NPI: 1417956756. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry. Provider information is self-reported to CMS and updated monthly.

STARLA GRABER, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Obstetrics Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 2405 WEST LEXINGTON AVENUE, ELKHART, IN, 46514, with a listed phone of (574) 524-7575. NPI 1417956756 was issued on 07/19/2005.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 257 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 69 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $18K in drug spend, split 19% brand-name and 81% generic by claim count.

Obstetrics Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,402 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 319 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.
