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).

CAROLINE BEVONA, M.D. is a Dermatology Physician provider practicing in CHELMSFORD, Massachusetts, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D..

CAROLINE BEVONA, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Dermatology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 228 BILLERICA RD, CHELMSFORD, MA, 01824, with a listed phone of (978) 250-6010. NPI 1245225044 was issued on 09/17/2005.
