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).

CAROLE WEDDINGTON HUNT, PMHNP-BC appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Psychiatric/Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist provider holding PMHNP-BC credentials at 2166 MADISON AVE, GRANITE CITY, IL, 62040, with a listed phone of (618) 452-4969. NPI 1831514074 was issued on 02/25/2014.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 361 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 28 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $72K in drug spend, split 6% brand-name and 94% generic by claim count.

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.
