Board certification through an ABMS or AOA member board signals voluntary post-licensure examination plus Maintenance of Certification cycles. CMS does not publish a per-provider board-certification field; the figure shown is the specialty-level estimated rate from ABMS / AOA reference data.
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 NEUENSCHWANDER, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Sleep Medicine (Otolaryngology) Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 80 DOCTORS DR, HENDERSONVILLE, NC, 28792, with a listed phone of (828) 650-2748. NPI 1841297884 was issued on 07/06/2005.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 228 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 111 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $6K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 16.2%.

Sleep Medicine (Otolaryngology) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 98 enrolled providers across 29 states and an average of 543 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.
