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).

DANNY VU, M.D. is a Legal Medicine provider practicing in GURNEE, Illinois, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D.. NPI: 1518058346. 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.

DANNY VU, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Legal Medicine provider holding M.D. credentials at 135 N GREENLEAF ST, GURNEE, IL, 60031, with a listed phone of (847) 244-7223. NPI 1518058346 was issued on 09/27/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 5,720 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 125 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $181K in drug spend, split 5% brand-name and 95% generic by claim count.

Legal Medicine is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,067 enrolled providers across 51 states and an average of 2,821 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.
