MOHAMMAD ZAHID, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Nephrology Physician provider holding MD credentials at 1530 N RANDALL RD, ELGIN, IL, 60123, with a listed phone of (847) 697-6464. NPI 1225027873 was issued on 10/17/2005. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what ZAHID most recently submitted to CMS rather than a vetted directory listing, which is why patients should always confirm the practice is still at this location before scheduling.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 2,598 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 272 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $240K in drug spend, split 13% brand-name and 87% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 0.5%. 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. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 24.2363/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 0, Cost 80.7876), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Nephrology Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 10,534 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 1,454 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.

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.
