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).

WILLIAM WALLACE, D.O. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Facial Plastic Surgery Physician provider holding D.O. credentials at 146 E HOSPITAL DR STE 200, WEST COLUMBIA, SC, 29169, with a listed phone of (803) 936-7530. NPI 1275539603 was issued on 06/21/2005.

Important: PlainDoctor is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a malpractice database, or a quality rating.
