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.

SAMANTHA BACON, PA-C is a Medical Physician Assistant provider practicing in AURORA, Colorado, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: PA-C. NPI: 1295259414. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

SAMANTHA BACON, PA-C appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Medical Physician Assistant provider holding PA-C credentials at 13123 E 16TH AVE # B115, AURORA, CO, 80045, with a listed phone of (720) 777-6740. NPI 1295259414 was issued on 07/30/2017. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what BACON 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 prescribing data is not currently published for this NPI, which typically means the provider either wrote fewer than 11 Part D claims in the most recent reporting year, does not participate in Medicare, or practices in a specialty that rarely prescribes outpatient drugs. Absence of prescribing data is not a quality signal — many Medical Physician Assistant providers operate outside Part D entirely. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 97.5814/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 86.5348), compared with the national average of 83.1.
Medical Physician Assistant is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 40,527 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 1,077 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.
