American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM)
Improving the health of the public.
Overview
The American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) is the certifying board for family physicians in the United States. As part of its services to its members, it operates a CMS-approved Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR). This allows board-certified family physicians to meet their MIPS reporting requirements by participating in quality improvement activities that are also relevant to their certification. The cost for ABFM Diplomates is often subsidized by the ABFM Foundation, making it a very accessible option.
