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).

VALARIE KANE, PA-C is a Nutritionist provider practicing in AUBURN, California, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: PA-C. NPI: 1396180816. 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.

VALARIE KANE, PA-C appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Nutritionist provider holding PA-C credentials at 3280 PROFESSIONAL DR, AUBURN, CA, 95602, with a listed phone of (530) 886-8630. NPI 1396180816 was issued on 05/10/2013.

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.
