Board certification
Not published by CMS
CMS does not publish a per-provider board-certification field in NPPES. PlainDoctor does not have a reliable per-specialty certification rate to show for Rehabilitation Clinical Nurse Specialist. Verify directly:
How MIPS and board certification work
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).
Ellen Battista, NP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Rehabilitation Clinical Nurse Specialist provider holding NP credentials at 646 N FRENCH RD STE 7, Amherst, NY, 14228, with a listed phone of (716) 833-8184. NPI 1780770024 was issued on 10/05/2006.
Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 463 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 140 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $45K in drug spend, split 10% brand-name and 90% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 39.1%.

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.
