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).

JOHN NEMECEK, MD is a Contractor provider practicing in HOUSTON, Texas, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: MD. NPI: 1629150487.

JOHN NEMECEK, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Contractor provider holding MD credentials at 1415 CALIFORNIA ST, HOUSTON, TX, 77006, with a listed phone of (832) 548-5000. NPI 1629150487 was issued on 10/20/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 5,041 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 227 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $7.5 million in drug spend, split 46% brand-name and 54% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 0.3%.

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.
