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).

NPI: 1508929571. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

PATRICK WHITE, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Legal Medicine provider holding M.D. credentials at 19301 WATKINS MILL RD, MONTGOMERY VILLAGE, MD, 20886, with a listed phone of (410) 745-9509. NPI 1508929571 was issued on 12/19/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 2,852 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 90 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $252K in drug spend, split 16% brand-name and 84% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 0.9%. 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.

Legal Medicine is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,067 enrolled providers across 51 states and an average of 2,821 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.
