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 NESTOR, CRNP is a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner provider practicing in BETHLEHEM, Pennsylvania, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: CRNP. NPI: 1801055611. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

JAMES NESTOR, CRNP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner provider holding CRNP credentials at 801 OSTRUM ST, BETHLEHEM, PA, 18015, with a listed phone of (610) 954-4434. NPI 1801055611 was issued on 06/06/2008.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 3,735 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 280 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $453K in drug spend, split 5% brand-name and 95% generic by claim count.

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.
