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).

FELIPE FLORES-SANDOVAL, MD is a Urology Physician provider practicing in HOUSTON, Texas, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: MD. NPI: 1467409748.

FELIPE FLORES-SANDOVAL, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Urology Physician provider holding MD credentials at 6560 FANNIN ST, HOUSTON, TX, 77030, with a listed phone of (713) 441-6455. NPI 1467409748 was issued on 05/30/2006.

Important: PlainDoctor is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a malpractice database, or a quality rating.
