Board certification
Not published by CMS
CMS does not publish a per-provider board-certification field in NPPES. PlainDoctor does not have a reliable per-specialty certification rate to show for Critical Care Medicine Registered Nurse. Verify directly:
How MIPS and board certification work
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).
Stephanie Sanchez appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Critical Care Medicine Registered Nurse provider at 1515 PAPPAS ST, Laredo, TX, 78041, with a listed phone of (956) 795-8100. NPI 1699357442 was issued on 04/21/2021.
Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 1,994 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 357 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $395K in drug spend, split 21% brand-name and 78% generic by claim count.
Critical Care Medicine Registered Nurse is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 6,553 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 752 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.

- Check the active license and any disciplinary history with the Texas medical board, federal registration is not a license check. Credential verification guide
- Weigh a second option: compare this provider with a nearby Critical Care Medicine Registered Nurse peer on Medicare volume and prescribing patterns. Compare providers
