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).

VALERIE LOWRY, MSN, ACNP-BC appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Critical Care Medicine Registered Nurse provider holding MSN, ACNP-BC credentials at 3601 W 13 MILE RD, ROYAL OAK, MI, 48073, with a listed phone of (248) 898-5000. NPI 1558673145 was issued on 07/12/2010.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 430 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 220 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $3K in drug spend, split 3% brand-name and 97% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 20.7%.

Critical Care Medicine Registered Nurse is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 6,529 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.
