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).

DWIGHT CAPPS, M.D. is a Ophthalmology Physician provider practicing in MURRAY, Kentucky, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D..

DWIGHT CAPPS, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Ophthalmology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 300 S 8TH ST, MURRAY, KY, 42071, with a listed phone of (270) 753-3131. NPI 1295808319 was issued on 11/16/2006.
