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).

NADEEM AFZAL, M.D is a Psychiatry Physician provider practicing in NEW CASTLE, Delaware, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D. NPI: 1043525827. 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.

NADEEM AFZAL, M.D appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Psychiatry Physician provider holding M.D credentials at 1901 N DUPONT HWY, NEW CASTLE, DE, 19720, with a listed phone of (302) 255-2707. NPI 1043525827 was issued on 08/17/2010. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what AFZAL 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 1,061 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 97 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $104K in drug spend, split 7% brand-name and 93% 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.
