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).

Puneet Agarwal, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Internal Medicine Physician provider holding MD credentials at 3000 NEW BERN AVE, Raleigh, NC, 27610, with a listed phone of (919) 350-8000. NPI 1780905059 was issued on 06/21/2010.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 420 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 119 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $565K in drug spend, split 73% brand-name and 27% generic by claim count.

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.
