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).

BENJAMIN MERBLER appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Student in an Organized Health Care Education/Training Program provider at 628 N MAIN ST, ASHLAND, OR, 97520, with a listed phone of (541) 201-4930. NPI 1134748114 was issued on 04/10/2020.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 1,047 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 273 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $119K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 4.1%.

On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 83.7853/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 82.0863, Cost 63.8646), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Student in an Organized Health Care Education/Training Program is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 331,761 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 459 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.
