MIPS final score (Nuclear Cardiology Physician) — 83.6602/100 vs national avg 83.1

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 FICULA, D.O. is a Nuclear Cardiology Physician provider practicing in RED OAK, Texas, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: D.O.. NPI: 1811265085. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

ROBERT FICULA, D.O. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Nuclear Cardiology Physician provider holding D.O. credentials at 307 E OVILLA RD, RED OAK, TX, 75154, with a listed phone of (469) 437-3344. NPI 1811265085 was issued on 12/02/2011.

Nuclear Cardiology Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 374 enrolled providers across 37 states and an average of 4,019 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.
