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 ADAMS, MD is a Retina Specialist (Ophthalmology) Physician provider practicing in PLANO, Texas, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: MD. NPI: 1124361076. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

MATTHEW ADAMS, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Retina Specialist (Ophthalmology) Physician provider holding MD credentials at 6843 COMMUNICATIONS PKWY STE 810, PLANO, TX, 75024, with a listed phone of (972) 440-2020. NPI 1124361076 was issued on 03/28/2013.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 407 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 125 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $38K in drug spend, split 39% brand-name and 61% generic by claim count.

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.
