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).

DRIOLA BRAHAJ is a Specialist provider practicing in BRISTOL, Connecticut, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). NPI: 1316151863.

DRIOLA BRAHAJ appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Specialist provider at 41 BREWSTER RD # LEVELA, BRISTOL, CT, 06010, with a listed phone of (860) 585-3000. NPI 1316151863 was issued on 05/10/2007.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 1,791 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 302 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $4.0 million in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 2.6%.

Specialist is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 69,658 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 1,474 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.
