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).

MAKRAM HAJJ, MD is a Nuclear Cardiology Physician provider practicing in CARMEL, Indiana, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: MD. NPI: 1194782698.

MAKRAM HAJJ, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Nuclear Cardiology Physician provider holding MD credentials at 11725 N ILLINOIS ST, CARMEL, IN, 46032, with a listed phone of (317) 688-5100. NPI 1194782698 was issued on 04/27/2006.

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.
