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).

Victor Rivera Beltran, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a General Practice Physician provider holding MD credentials at 455 CALLE LIRIO, San Juan, PR, 00926, with a listed phone of (787) 448-5271. NPI 1497361117 was issued on 09/17/2020.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 404 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 220 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $8K in drug spend, split 5% brand-name and 95% generic by claim count.

General Practice Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 16,677 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 2,872 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 Puerto Rico medical board — federal registration is not a license check. Credential verification guide
  • Weigh a second option: compare this provider with a nearby General Practice Physician peer on Medicare volume and prescribing patterns. Compare providers
