FARAZ ZAIDI, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Geriatric Medicine (Family Medicine) Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 5900 COYLE AVE STE A, CARMICHAEL, CA, 95608, with a listed phone of (916) 332-1210. NPI 1225253099 was issued on 04/16/2007. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what ZAIDI 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 records for calendar year 2023 show 19,319 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 648 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1.5 million in drug spend, split 19% brand-name and 81% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 0.4%. These figures capture only Medicare Part D — commercial insurance, Medicaid, and cash-pay prescriptions are not included, and any drug-beneficiary cell under 11 is suppressed by CMS for patient privacy. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 86.72/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 57.6727), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Geriatric Medicine (Family Medicine) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,779 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 4,854 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.
