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).

JAMES COLE, D.O., F.A.C.S. is a Trauma Surgery Physician provider practicing in ROCKFORD, Illinois, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: D.O., F.A.C.S.. NPI: 1407926926. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

JAMES COLE, D.O., F.A.C.S. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Trauma Surgery Physician provider holding D.O., F.A.C.S. credentials at 1340 CHARLES ST, ROCKFORD, IL, 61104, with a listed phone of (779) 696-8700. NPI 1407926926 was issued on 11/09/2006.

Important: PlainDoctor is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a malpractice database, or a quality rating.
