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).

GEORGES JOSEPH, M.D. is a Interventional Cardiology Physician provider practicing in WEEKI WACHEE, Florida, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D.. NPI: 1548555956. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

GEORGES JOSEPH, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Interventional Cardiology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 10065 CORTEZ BLVD, WEEKI WACHEE, FL, 34613, with a listed phone of (352) 596-4660. NPI 1548555956 was issued on 06/14/2011.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 5,867 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 912 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $957K in drug spend. 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.

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.
