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).

LINA BATRA, MD is a Nephrology Physician provider practicing in METOCHEN, New Jersey, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: MD. NPI: 1104918077.

LINA BATRA, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Nephrology Physician provider holding MD credentials at 220 BRIDGE STREET, METOCHEN, NJ, 08840, with a listed phone of (732) 548-2500. NPI 1104918077 was issued on 09/29/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 11 prescription claims written by this provider, covering N/A Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $278 in drug spend.

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.
