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).

RANDOLPH CHARLTON, M.D. is a Psychoanalyst provider practicing in PALO ALTO, California, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D.. NPI: 1053572321. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

RANDOLPH CHARLTON, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Psychoanalyst provider holding M.D. credentials at 690 WAVERLEY ST, PALO ALTO, CA, 94301, with a listed phone of (650) 327-3636. NPI 1053572321 was issued on 06/19/2008.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 224 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 17 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $9K in drug spend, split 11% brand-name and 89% generic by claim count.

Psychoanalyst is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,391 enrolled providers across 44 states and an average of 79 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.
