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).

ALBERTO PAPPO, M.D. is a Pediatric Hematology & Oncology Physician provider practicing in MEMPHIS, Tennessee, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D.. NPI: 1003821752. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

ALBERTO PAPPO, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Pediatric Hematology & Oncology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 262 DANNY THOMAS PL, MEMPHIS, TN, 38105, with a listed phone of (901) 595-6765. NPI 1003821752 was issued on 07/30/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 14 prescription claims written by this provider, covering N/A Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $235K in drug spend, split 86% brand-name and 14% 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.
