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).

SCOTT EATON, M.D. is a Obstetrics Physician provider practicing in LIVERMORE, California, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D.. NPI: 1285793836. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry. Provider information is self-reported to CMS and updated monthly.

SCOTT EATON, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Obstetrics Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 1133 E STANLEY BLVD, LIVERMORE, CA, 94550, with a listed phone of (925) 447-1010. NPI 1285793836 was issued on 12/08/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 40 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 16 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $6K in drug spend, split 28% brand-name and 72% generic by claim count.

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.
