MIPS final score (Specialist) — 75/100 vs national avg 83.1

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).

ARIF ALIDINA, M.D. is a Specialist provider practicing in CLEARWATER, Florida, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D.. NPI: 1346390754.

ARIF ALIDINA, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Specialist provider holding M.D. credentials at 1330 S FORT HARRISON AVE, CLEARWATER, FL, 33756, with a listed phone of (727) 441-3588. NPI 1346390754 was issued on 01/11/2007.

Important: PlainDoctor is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a malpractice database, or a quality rating.
