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).

MUHAMMAD AHMAD, M.D is a Internal Medicine Physician provider practicing in CHICAGO, Illinois, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D. NPI: 1467832691. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

MUHAMMAD AHMAD, M.D appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Internal Medicine Physician provider holding M.D credentials at 7447 W TALCOTT AVE STE 216, CHICAGO, IL, 60631, with a listed phone of (773) 631-0566. NPI 1467832691 was issued on 06/03/2015.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 3,701 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 422 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $492K in drug spend, split 16% brand-name and 84% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 3.9%.

Internal Medicine Physician is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 172,858 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 2,716 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.
