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).

BRANDY ABELL is a Nurse Practitioner provider practicing in OWENSBORO, Kentucky, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). NPI: 1275185878.

BRANDY ABELL appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Nurse Practitioner provider at 1200 BRECKENRIDGE ST, OWENSBORO, KY, 42303, with a listed phone of (270) 683-2083. NPI 1275185878 was issued on 07/12/2019.

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.
