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).

AASIM AFZAL, M.D appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Emergency Medicine Physician provider holding M.D credentials at 6601 PRESTON RD, PLANO, TX, 75024, with a listed phone of (469) 800-6300.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 1,658 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 248 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $926K in drug spend.

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.
