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).

BRIAN NORRIS, M.D. is a Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology Physician provider practicing in LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D.. NPI: 1720003031. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

BRIAN NORRIS, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 9501 LILE DR, LITTLE ROCK, AR, 72205, with a listed phone of (501) 227-7596. NPI 1720003031 was issued on 07/13/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 7,655 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 1,181 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1.6 million in drug spend, split 23% brand-name and 77% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 1.6%.

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.
