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).

ANGEL BARAJAS, OD is a Basic Emergency Medical Technician provider practicing in POMONA, California, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: OD. NPI: 1457825788. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

ANGEL BARAJAS, OD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Basic Emergency Medical Technician provider holding OD credentials at 795 E 2ND ST STE 2, POMONA, CA, 91766, with a listed phone of (909) 706-3899. NPI 1457825788 was issued on 01/21/2019.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 34 prescription claims written by this provider, covering N/A Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $12K in drug spend, split 56% brand-name and 44% 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.
