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 HANSEN, MD is a Epilepsy Physician provider practicing in MIDDLETOWN, Ohio, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: MD. NPI: 1861842858.

CRAIG HANSEN, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Epilepsy Physician provider holding MD credentials at 200 MEDICAL CENTER DR STE 325, MIDDLETOWN, OH, 45005, with a listed phone of (513) 705-4762. NPI 1861842858 was issued on 06/21/2016.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 580 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 73 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $67K in drug spend, split 10% brand-name and 90% generic by claim count.

Epilepsy Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 354 enrolled providers across 42 states and an average of 878 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.
