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).

AJAIPAL KANG is a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Physician provider practicing in ERIE, Pennsylvania, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). NPI: 1306846035. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry. Provider information is self-reported to CMS and updated monthly.

AJAIPAL KANG appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Physician provider at 100 PEACH ST, ERIE, PA, 16507, with a listed phone of (814) 877-5200. NPI 1306846035 was issued on 07/22/2005.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 2,352 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 86 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline. 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.
