How MIPS and board certification work
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).

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 1,053 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 127 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $143K in drug spend, split 16% brand-name and 81% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 1.5%. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 90.1/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 85.1, Cost 63.5), compared with the 83.5 average among clinicians with a measured score.

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.
