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).

PALAK PATEL, M.D. is a Otolaryngic Allergy Physician provider practicing in ROUND ROCK, Texas, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D.. NPI: 1780125955. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

PALAK PATEL, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Otolaryngic Allergy Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 3207 GREENLAWN BLVD STE 200, ROUND ROCK, TX, 78664, with a listed phone of (737) 399-2200. NPI 1780125955 was issued on 03/20/2017.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 264 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 108 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $7K in drug spend, split 6% brand-name and 94% 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.
