Board certification
Not published by CMS
CMS does not publish a per-provider board-certification field in NPPES. PlainDoctor does not have a reliable per-specialty certification rate to show for Gerontology Nurse Practitioner. Verify directly:
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).
Tara Joan, ANP AND GNP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Gerontology Nurse Practitioner provider holding ANP AND GNP credentials at 2015 GRAND CONCOURSE, Bronx, NY, 10453, with a listed phone of (718) 299-7295. NPI 1063979896 was issued on 02/28/2019.
Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 796 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 52 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $69K in drug spend, split 13% brand-name and 83% generic by claim count.
Gerontology Nurse Practitioner is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 9,625 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 1,283 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.

- Weigh a second option: compare this provider with a nearby Gerontology Nurse Practitioner peer on Medicare volume and prescribing patterns. Compare providers
