Specialty board-certified rate — Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner estimate
Board certification through an ABMS or AOA member board signals voluntary post-licensure examination plus Maintenance of Certification cycles. CMS does not publish a per-provider board-certification field; the figure shown is the specialty-level estimated rate from ABMS / AOA reference data.
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).
BRYAN CARLETON, APRN, DNP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner provider holding APRN, DNP credentials at 400 4TH ST NW, FARIBAULT, MN, 55021, with a listed phone of (507) 384-6830. NPI 1902201700 was issued on 10/23/2014.

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