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).

BABAK ELIASSI-RAD, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Glaucoma Specialist (Ophthalmology) Physician provider holding MD credentials at 500 FAUNCE CORNER RD STE 110, N DARTMOUTH, MA, 02747, with a listed phone of (508) 717-0270.

Important: PlainDoctor is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a malpractice database, or a quality rating.
