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).

CRAIG DENNY, MD is a Psychiatry Physician provider practicing in IDAHO FALLS, Idaho, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: MD. NPI: 1720071319.

CRAIG DENNY, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Psychiatry Physician provider holding MD credentials at 2065 E 17TH ST STE B, IDAHO FALLS, ID, 83404, with a listed phone of (208) 520-6053. NPI 1720071319 was issued on 08/30/2005.
