How Psychiatry Physician compares to other specialties among Texas providers

Each bar is a specialty's share of the Texas provider total, by primary NUCC taxonomy. The highlighted bar is Psychiatry Physician; the long tail of smaller specialties is omitted for legibility.
MIPS score not measured
CMS assigned a neutral 75/100 threshold
CMS did not publish any Quality, Cost, Promoting Interoperability, or Improvement Activities category score for this clinician. This administrative threshold is not comparable with the national average of clinicians whose MIPS score was measured.
How MIPS and board certification work
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).
Ignacio Valdes, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Psychiatry Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 7505 FANNIN ST STE 170, Houston, TX, 77054, with a listed phone of (832) 786-9141. NPI 1760546360 was issued on 12/20/2006.
Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 17,602 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 797 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $5.0 million in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 0.2%. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider carries a Final Score of 75/100 for the 2023 performance year, but CMS published no Quality, Promoting Interoperability, Improvement Activity or Cost score: this is the neutral performance threshold CMS assigns where nothing was scored, so it is not comparable with clinicians whose score was measured.
Psychiatry Physician is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 53,171 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 1,038 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
