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).

NIMISA BHAVE, O.D is a Optometrist provider practicing in ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Illinois, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: O.D. NPI: 1801086038.

NIMISA BHAVE, O.D appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Optometrist provider holding O.D credentials at 27 S VAIL AVE, ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL, 60005, with a listed phone of (847) 368-9800. NPI 1801086038 was issued on 07/25/2007.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 17 prescription claims written by this provider, covering N/A Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $965 in drug spend.

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.
