MIPS final score (Optometrist) — 0/100 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).

DUSTIN BROWN, O.D. is a Optometrist provider practicing in STATE COLLEGE, Pennsylvania, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: O.D.. NPI: 1245681881. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry. Provider information is self-reported to CMS and updated monthly.

DUSTIN BROWN, O.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Optometrist provider holding O.D. credentials at 428 WINDMERE DR, STATE COLLEGE, PA, 16801, with a listed phone of (814) 234-2015. NPI 1245681881 was issued on 06/24/2016.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 333 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 109 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $59K in drug spend, split 32% brand-name and 68% generic by claim count. These figures capture only Medicare Part D — commercial insurance, Medicaid, and cash-pay prescriptions are not included, and any drug-beneficiary cell under 11 is suppressed by CMS for patient privacy.

Optometrist is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 60,463 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 257 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.
