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).

RAKSHITH ARAKOTARAM RAVIKUMAR, DMD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a General Practice Dentistry provider holding DMD credentials at 1670 HIGHWAY 71 E STE A, BASTROP, TX, 78602, with a listed phone of (512) 240-6496. NPI 1518391242 was issued on 08/29/2013.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 105 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 61 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $640 in drug spend.

General Practice Dentistry is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 121,627 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 82 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.
