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).

CHIGOZIE UKO, NP-C is a Nephrology Registered Nurse provider practicing in LAWRENCEVILLE, Georgia, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: NP-C.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 119 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 58 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $54K in drug spend, split 25% brand-name and 75% generic by claim count.
