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).

KEITH BOW, PHARM.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Pharmacist Clinician (PhC)/ Clinical Pharmacy Specialist provider holding PHARM.D. credentials at 1700 S BRADLEY RD, SANTA MARIA, CA, 93454, with a listed phone of (805) 922-3430. NPI 1093181695 was issued on 08/18/2015.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 93 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 83 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $21K in drug spend, split 100% brand-name and 0% 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.
