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).

DIANA DAWSON, RN, PNP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner provider holding RN, PNP credentials at 521 PARNASSUS AVE, SAN FRANCISCO, CA, 94143, with a listed phone of (415) 476-2072. NPI 1861634701 was issued on 03/24/2009.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 170 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 15 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1.1 million in drug spend, split 68% brand-name and 32% generic by claim count.

On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 74.4657/100 for the 2023 performance year, compared with the national average of 83.1.

Pediatric Nurse Practitioner is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 21,082 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 312 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.
