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).

KERRY NIE, PA-C is a Surgical Physician Assistant provider practicing in DAYTON, Ohio, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: PA-C. NPI: 1780770057. 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.

KERRY NIE, PA-C appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Surgical Physician Assistant provider holding PA-C credentials at 30 E APPLE ST, DAYTON, OH, 45409, with a listed phone of (937) 208-3220. NPI 1780770057 was issued on 10/05/2006.

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.
