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).

SUMIT SHARMA, M.D. is a Retina Specialist (Ophthalmology) Physician provider practicing in CLEVELAND, Ohio, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES).

SUMIT SHARMA, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Retina Specialist (Ophthalmology) Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 9500 EUCLID AVE # DESKI32, CLEVELAND, OH, 44195, with a listed phone of (216) 445-4904. NPI 1801025697 was issued on 07/14/2009.

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.
