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.

NICKI RINGLER-GOODWIN, CNNP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner provider holding CNNP credentials at 1 MEDICAL CENTER DR, MORGANTOWN, WV, 26506, with a listed phone of (304) 598-4000. NPI 1982784989 was issued on 10/16/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what RINGLER-GOODWIN 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 prescribing data is not currently published for this NPI, which typically means the provider either wrote fewer than 11 Part D claims in the most recent reporting year, does not participate in Medicare, or practices in a specialty that rarely prescribes outpatient drugs. Absence of prescribing data is not a quality signal — many Neonatal Nurse Practitioner providers operate outside Part D entirely. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 94.1061/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 78.4655), compared with the national average of 83.1.
Neonatal Nurse Practitioner is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 3,935 enrolled providers across 51 states and an average of 440 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.
