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).

BETHZAIDA SUAREZ GONZALEZ, MD is a Facial Plastic Surgery Physician provider practicing in CHICAGO, Illinois, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: MD. NPI: 1740780857. 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.

BETHZAIDA SUAREZ GONZALEZ, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Facial Plastic Surgery Physician provider holding MD credentials at 224 W HILL ST APT 500, CHICAGO, IL, 60610, with a listed phone of (312) 273-4165. NPI 1740780857 was issued on 02/15/2018.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 61 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 37 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $2K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 29.5%.

Facial Plastic Surgery Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 607 enrolled providers across 47 states and an average of 428 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.
