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).

DAVID CHINDO, APRN appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner provider holding APRN credentials at 1217 US HIGHWAY 62 E, CYNTHIANA, KY, 41031, with a listed phone of (859) 405-0511. NPI 1487160297 was issued on 12/18/2017.
