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).

LAWRENCE LAZARUS, M.D. is a Psychiatry Physician provider practicing in SANTA FE, New Mexico, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D.. NPI: 1083685531. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry. Provider information is self-reported to CMS and updated monthly.

LAWRENCE LAZARUS, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Psychiatry Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 1925 ASPEN DR STE 901B, SANTA FE, NM, 87505, with a listed phone of (505) 820-2302. NPI 1083685531 was issued on 01/31/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 270 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 27 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $15K in drug spend, split 5% brand-name and 95% generic by claim count. These figures capture only Medicare Part D — commercial insurance, Medicaid, and cash-pay prescriptions are not included, and any drug-beneficiary cell under 11 is suppressed by CMS for patient privacy.

Psychiatry Physician is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 53,104 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. 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.
