MIPS final score (Nuclear Cardiology Physician) — 81.3083/100 vs national avg 83.1

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).

DENNIS CALNON, M.D. is a Nuclear Cardiology Physician provider practicing in COLUMBUS, Ohio, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D.. NPI: 1295730646. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

DENNIS CALNON, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Nuclear Cardiology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 3705 OLENTANGY RIVER RD, COLUMBUS, OH, 43214, with a listed phone of (614) 262-6772. NPI 1295730646 was issued on 06/14/2005. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what CALNON most recently submitted to CMS rather than a vetted directory listing, which is why patients should always confirm the practice is still at this location before scheduling.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 1,304 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 208 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $182K in drug spend, split 11% brand-name and 89% generic by claim count.

Nuclear Cardiology Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 374 enrolled providers across 37 states and an average of 4,019 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.
