MIPS final score (Ophthalmology Physician) — 77.0557/100 vs national avg 83.1

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).

PAUL CRAVEN, M.D. is a Ophthalmology Physician provider practicing in NORTH OLMSTED, Ohio, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D.. NPI: 1326014291. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

PAUL CRAVEN, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Ophthalmology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 4859 DOVER CENTER RD, NORTH OLMSTED, OH, 44070, with a listed phone of (440) 734-4090. NPI 1326014291 was issued on 02/28/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what CRAVEN 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 records for calendar year 2023 show 1,496 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 446 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $248K in drug spend, split 43% brand-name and 57% generic by claim count.

Ophthalmology Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 22,090 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 1,420 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.
