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).

ABDULSEMED BESHIR is a Physician Assistant provider practicing in SILVER SPRING, Maryland, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). NPI: 1821564972.

ABDULSEMED BESHIR appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Physician Assistant provider at 8560 2ND AVE APT 1413, SILVER SPRING, MD, 20910, with a listed phone of (202) 316-6551. NPI 1821564972 was issued on 10/16/2018. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what BESHIR most recently submitted to CMS rather than a vetted directory listing, which is why patients should always confirm the practice is still at this location before scheduling.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 178 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 123 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $4K in drug spend, split 11% brand-name and 89% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 9.0%.

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.
