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.

JEFFREY BENSON, MD is a Pediatric Critical Care Medicine Physician provider practicing in INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: MD. NPI: 1851342208. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry. Provider information is self-reported to CMS and updated monthly.
JEFFREY BENSON, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Pediatric Critical Care Medicine Physician provider holding MD credentials at 705 RILEY HOSPITAL DR, INDIANAPOLIS, IN, 46202, with a listed phone of (317) 944-7208. NPI 1851342208 was issued on 05/12/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what BENSON most recently submitted to CMS rather than a vetted directory listing, which is why patients should always confirm the practice is still at this location before scheduling.
Medicare Part D prescribing data is not currently published for this NPI, which typically means the provider either wrote fewer than 11 Part D claims in the most recent reporting year, does not participate in Medicare, or practices in a specialty that rarely prescribes outpatient drugs. Absence of prescribing data is not a quality signal — many Pediatric Critical Care Medicine Physician providers operate outside Part D entirely. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 87.0887/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 70.7998, Cost 52.8291), compared with the national average of 83.1.
Pediatric Critical Care Medicine Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 2,247 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 91 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline. 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.
