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).

NOAH STERN, D.O. is a Facial Plastic Surgery Physician provider practicing in DETROIT, Michigan, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: D.O.. NPI: 1972727576. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

NOAH STERN, D.O. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Facial Plastic Surgery Physician provider holding D.O. credentials at 4160 JOHN R ST, DETROIT, MI, 48201, with a listed phone of (313) 966-3471. NPI 1972727576 was issued on 04/13/2007.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 751 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 267 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $23K in drug spend, split 2% brand-name and 98% generic by claim count.

Facial Plastic Surgery Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 607 enrolled providers across 47 states and an average of 428 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.
