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).

ALBERT QUAN, MD is a Pediatric Nephrology Physician provider practicing in DALLAS, Texas, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: MD. NPI: 1689615114. 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.

ALBERT QUAN, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Pediatric Nephrology Physician provider holding MD credentials at 7777 FOREST LN, DALLAS, TX, 75230, with a listed phone of (972) 566-7885. NPI 1689615114 was issued on 06/08/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 232 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 13 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $172K in drug spend, split 15% brand-name and 85% generic by claim count.

Pediatric Nephrology Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 723 enrolled providers across 50 states and an average of 97 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.
