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).

JOSHUA ST. LOUIS is a Addiction Medicine (Preventive Medicine) Physician provider practicing in LAWRENCE, Massachusetts, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES).

Provider information is self-reported to CMS and updated monthly.

JOSHUA ST. LOUIS appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Addiction Medicine (Preventive Medicine) Physician provider at 34 HAVERHILL ST, LAWRENCE, MA, 01841, with a listed phone of (978) 686-0900. NPI 1437562121 was issued on 06/10/2014. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what ST.

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.
