MIPS final score (Allergy & Immunology Physician) — 75/100 vs national avg 83.1

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).

JOSEPH GRILLO, M.D. is a Allergy & Immunology Physician provider practicing in PLAINVIEW, New York, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D.. NPI: 1437449246. 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.

JOSEPH GRILLO, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Allergy & Immunology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 1171 OLD COUNTRY RD STE 5, PLAINVIEW, NY, 11803, with a listed phone of (516) 938-7676. NPI 1437449246 was issued on 04/13/2011.

Allergy & Immunology Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 3,390 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 764 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.
