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).

MICHAEL MEUTH, MD is a Interventional Cardiology Physician provider practicing in FALL RIVER, Massachusetts, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES).

MICHAEL MEUTH, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Interventional Cardiology Physician provider holding MD credentials at 1565 NORTH MAIN STREET, FALL RIVER, MA, 02720, with a listed phone of (508) 973-9500. NPI 1982608956 was issued on 06/08/2005.
