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).

IFTIKER AHMAD, MD is a Gastroenterology Physician provider practicing in EAST LANSING, Michigan, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: MD.

Provider information is self-reported to CMS and updated monthly.

IFTIKER AHMAD, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Gastroenterology Physician provider holding MD credentials at 1650 RAMBLEWOOD DR, EAST LANSING, MI, 48823, with a listed phone of (517) 332-1200. NPI 1184673402 was issued on 05/06/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 741 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 382 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $865K in drug spend, split 25% brand-name and 75% generic by claim count.
