MIPS final score (Procedural Dermatology Physician) — 75/100 vs national avg 83.1

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).

DEBRA BABICH, M.D. is a Procedural Dermatology Physician provider practicing in DECATUR, Illinois, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D.. NPI: 1649215757. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

DEBRA BABICH, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Procedural Dermatology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 2880 N MONROE ST, DECATUR, IL, 62526, with a listed phone of (217) 330-8939. NPI 1649215757 was issued on 06/20/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 766 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 304 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $245K in drug spend, split 8% brand-name and 92% generic by claim count.

Procedural Dermatology Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 679 enrolled providers across 48 states and an average of 664 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.
