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 PETERSON, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Sleep Medicine (Psychiatry & Neurology) Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 1345 EAST 3900 SOUTH STE 208, SALT LAKE CITY, UT, 84124, with a listed phone of (801) 281-1788. NPI 1801968359 was issued on 11/13/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 944 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 115 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $189K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 2.8%.

Sleep Medicine (Psychiatry & Neurology) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 371 enrolled providers across 45 states and an average of 1,005 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.
