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).

FERDNAND OSUAGWU, M.D is a Psychiatric Pharmacist provider practicing in SAGINAW, Michigan, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D. NPI: 1336551738. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

FERDNAND OSUAGWU, M.D appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Psychiatric Pharmacist provider holding M.D credentials at 1000 HOUGHTON AVE, SAGINAW, MI, 48602, with a listed phone of (989) 583-6825. NPI 1336551738 was issued on 05/20/2014.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 493 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 63 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $45K in drug spend, split 4% brand-name and 96% generic by claim count. 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.

Psychiatric Pharmacist is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 837 enrolled providers across 49 states and an average of 396 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.
