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).

BEVERLY WADDELL, ANP, GCNS appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Gerontology Clinical Nurse Specialist provider holding ANP, GCNS credentials at 105 W STONE DR, KINGSPORT, TN, 37660, with a listed phone of (423) 378-7645. NPI 1811161813 was issued on 04/22/2008.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 6,051 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 293 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $273K in drug spend, split 13% brand-name and 87% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 9.8%.

Gerontology Clinical Nurse Specialist is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 393 enrolled providers across 47 states and an average of 906 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.
