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).

ROBERT BACON, MD is a Psychiatry Physician provider practicing in HOUSTON, Texas, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: MD. NPI: 1700951704.

ROBERT BACON, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Psychiatry Physician provider holding MD credentials at 1919 NORTH LOOP W STE 224, HOUSTON, TX, 77008, with a listed phone of (713) 655-9410. NPI 1700951704 was issued on 11/22/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 3,570 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 157 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $690K in drug spend, split 11% brand-name and 89% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 5.4%.

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.
