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).

Melissa McCuistion, NP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Registered Nurse provider holding NP credentials at 1949 W MARKET ST, Akron, OH, 44313, with a listed phone of (330) 867-5410. NPI 1376169631 was issued on 06/23/2020. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what McCuistion most recently submitted to CMS rather than a vetted directory listing, which is why patients should always confirm the practice is still at this location before scheduling.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 29 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 11 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $8K in drug spend, split 52% brand-name and 48% generic by claim count.

On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 90.3/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 82.4, Cost 100), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Registered Nurse is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 175,652 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 1,000 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.
