How MIPS and board certification work

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).

Joanne Balintona, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Military Health Care Provider provider holding MD credentials at 7219 N LITCHFIELD RD, Luke Afb, AZ, 85309, with a listed phone of (623) 856-7618. NPI 1154422384 was issued on 09/26/2006.

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 Military Health Care Provider providers operate outside Part D entirely. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 74.5/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 70), compared with the 83.5 average among clinicians with a measured score.

Military Health Care Provider is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 3,080 enrolled providers across 51 states and an average of 658 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.
