How MIPS and board certification work
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).
Matthew Abad appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Physician Assistant provider at 318 N LANSDOWNE AVE, Lansdowne, PA, 19050, with a listed phone of (610) 259-3385. NPI 1720113350 was issued on 02/23/2007.
Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 264 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 63 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $9K in drug spend, split 6% brand-name and 94% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 35.6%. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 98.7/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 86.7), compared with the national average of 83.1.
Physician Assistant is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 149,975 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 790 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.

- Confirm the NPI record is current in the official CMS registry, providers update their own NPPES details, and moves can lag. Verify this NPI
- Check the active license and any disciplinary history with the Pennsylvania medical board, federal registration is not a license check. Credential verification guide
- Weigh a second option: compare this provider with a nearby Physician Assistant peer on Medicare volume and prescribing patterns. Compare providers
