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).

NATINDER SAINI, MD is a Pediatric Endocrinology Physician provider practicing in NORFOLK, Virginia, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: MD. NPI: 1578761268. 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.

NATINDER SAINI, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Pediatric Endocrinology Physician provider holding MD credentials at 601 CHILDRENS LN, NORFOLK, VA, 23507, with a listed phone of (757) 668-7237. NPI 1578761268 was issued on 07/05/2007.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 35 prescription claims written by this provider, covering N/A Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $30K in drug spend, split 51% brand-name and 49% 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.
