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).

EMMANUEL RIVERA, MD is a Geriatric Medicine (Family Medicine) Physician provider practicing in CINCINNATI, Ohio, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: MD. NPI: 1912946146. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

EMMANUEL RIVERA, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Geriatric Medicine (Family Medicine) Physician provider holding MD credentials at 619 OAK ST, CINCINNATI, OH, 45206, with a listed phone of (513) 569-6780. NPI 1912946146 was issued on 06/05/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 42,998 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 1,002 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $2.7 million in drug spend, split 15% brand-name and 85% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 0.9%.

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.
