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).

KIM COX, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Obstetrics & Gynecology Physician provider holding MD credentials at 777 HOSPITAL WAY, POCATELLO, ID, 83201, with a listed phone of (208) 232-8792. NPI 1801848221 was issued on 05/16/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 342 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 51 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $13K in drug spend.
