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 Ransom, APN appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Family Nurse Practitioner provider holding APN credentials at 103 OLD MARLTON PIKE, Medford, NJ, 08055, with a listed phone of (856) 602-4000. NPI 1629658810 was issued on 04/12/2021.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 264 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 94 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $62K in drug spend, split 19% brand-name and 81% generic by claim count. These figures capture only Medicare Part D — commercial insurance, Medicaid, and cash-pay prescriptions are not included, and any drug-beneficiary cell under 11 is suppressed by CMS for patient privacy. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 96.3/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 93.2), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Family Nurse Practitioner is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 209,817 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 1,222 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline. 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.

Before you book an appointment

Use this federal record as your verification checklist, not as a recommendation.

  • 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 New Jersey medical board — federal registration is not a license check. Credential verification guide
  • Weigh a second option: compare this provider with a nearby Family Nurse Practitioner peer on Medicare volume and prescribing patterns. Compare providers
