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).

FERNAND PARENT, MD is a General Practice Physician provider practicing in MONONGAHELA, Pennsylvania, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: MD.

FERNAND PARENT, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a General Practice Physician provider holding MD credentials at 426 W MAIN ST, MONONGAHELA, PA, 15063, with a listed phone of (724) 258-7700. NPI 1700974649 was issued on 10/10/2006.
