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).

INITHA ELANGOVAN, M.D appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Critical Care Medicine (Internal Medicine) Physician provider holding M.D credentials at 2500 ALHAMBRA AVE, MARTINEZ, CA, 94553, with a listed phone of (925) 370-5000. NPI 1083925739 was issued on 06/28/2010.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 700 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 117 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $299K in drug spend, split 78% brand-name and 22% generic by claim count.

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.
