Specialty board-certified rate — Health Educator estimate
Board certification through an ABMS or AOA member board signals voluntary post-licensure examination plus Maintenance of Certification cycles. CMS does not publish a per-provider board-certification field; the figure shown is the specialty-level estimated rate from ABMS / AOA reference data.
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).
RAKESH RAVIKUMARAN NAIR, M.D., MPH., MBA appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Health Educator provider holding M.D., MPH., MBA credentials at 1776 N PINE ISLAND RD STE 308, PLANTATION, FL, 33322, with a listed phone of (954) 376-3739. NPI 1730529041 was issued on 07/01/2013.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 3,933 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 310 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $458K in drug spend, split 14% brand-name and 86% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 0.6%. 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.
Health Educator is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 6,701 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 306 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.
