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).

AFIUR RAHMAN is a Nephrology Physician provider practicing in ANDERSON, South Carolina, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). NPI: 1528583614.

AFIUR RAHMAN appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Nephrology Physician provider at 779 SENATE PKWY, ANDERSON, SC, 29621, with a listed phone of (864) 224-8716. NPI 1528583614 was issued on 08/09/2017. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what RAHMAN 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 975 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 273 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $92K in drug spend, split 11% brand-name and 89% generic by claim count.

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.
