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).
Christopher Easley, OD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Student in an Organized Health Care Education/Training Program provider holding OD credentials at 6300 HOSPITAL PKWY STE 325, Johns Creek, GA, 30097, with a listed phone of (678) 381-2020. NPI 1174067136 was issued on 12/10/2016.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 738 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 238 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $169K in drug spend, split 38% brand-name and 62% generic by claim count. These figures capture only Medicare Part D — commercial insurance, Medicaid, and cash-pay prescriptions are not included, and any drug-beneficiary cell under 11 is suppressed by CMS for patient privacy. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 77.6/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 100, Cost 29.4), compared with the national average of 83.1.
Student in an Organized Health Care Education/Training Program is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 331,761 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 459 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline. 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.
