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).

MELANIE CLARK, O.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Prosthetist provider holding O.D. credentials at 3363 MERLIN DR, IDAHO FALLS, ID, 83404, with a listed phone of (208) 523-0330. NPI 1689015075 was issued on 07/12/2013.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 117 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 47 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $21K in drug spend, split 39% brand-name and 61% generic by claim count.

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.
