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.

BRENT KLAPTHOR, MD, MS appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Emergency Medical Services (Emergency Medicine) Physician provider holding MD, MS credentials at 30 N 1900 E RM 1C026, SALT LAKE CITY, UT, 84132, with a listed phone of (801) 581-2121. NPI 1891322004 was issued on 03/26/2020.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 119 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 69 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $10K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 14.3%.

Emergency Medical Services (Emergency Medicine) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 3,616 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 394 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.
