On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 99.3294/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 90.5979), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Inpatient Obstetric Registered Nurse is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 566 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 705 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.
