Specialty board-certified rate — Patient Transport Registered Respiratory Therapist estimate
Board certification through an ABMS or AOA member board signals voluntary post-licensure examination plus Maintenance of Certification cycles. CMS does not publish a per-provider board-certification field; the figure shown is the specialty-level estimated rate from ABMS / AOA reference data.
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).
DAVID GARRARD, BHS, RRT, LRT, RCP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Patient Transport Registered Respiratory Therapist provider holding BHS, RRT, LRT, RCP credentials at 532 W COLORADO AVE APT 409, COLORADO SPRINGS, CO, 80905, with a listed phone of (340) 474-1433. NPI 1649036583 was issued on 02/27/2024. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what GARRARD most recently submitted to CMS rather than a vetted directory listing, which is why patients should always confirm the practice is still at this location before scheduling.
Medicare Part D prescribing data is not currently published for this NPI, which typically means the provider either wrote fewer than 11 Part D claims in the most recent reporting year, does not participate in Medicare, or practices in a specialty that rarely prescribes outpatient drugs. Absence of prescribing data is not a quality signal — many Patient Transport Registered Respiratory Therapist providers operate outside Part D entirely.
Patient Transport Registered Respiratory Therapist is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 32 enrolled providers across 15 states, 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.
