MIPS final score (Registered Nurse First Assistant) — 30/100 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 KANCLERZ, MSN, NP-C, RNFA is a Registered Nurse First Assistant provider practicing in BRASELTON, Georgia, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: MSN, NP-C, RNFA. NPI: 1164697355. 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 KANCLERZ, MSN, NP-C, RNFA appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Registered Nurse First Assistant provider holding MSN, NP-C, RNFA credentials at 5742 ALLEE WAY, BRASELTON, GA, 30517, with a listed phone of (678) 591-8344. NPI 1164697355 was issued on 04/28/2008. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what KANCLERZ 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 Registered Nurse First Assistant providers operate outside Part D entirely. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 30/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 0, Cost 100), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Registered Nurse First Assistant is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 2,649 enrolled providers across 50 states and an average of 419 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.
