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).

MICHELLE ATHA appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Critical Care Medicine Registered Nurse provider at 550 PEACHTREE ST NE, ATLANTA, GA, 30308, with a listed phone of (404) 686-2266. NPI 1649811282 was issued on 10/04/2019.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 2,663 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 1,004 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $120K in drug spend, split 7% brand-name and 93% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 1.4%.

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.
