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 MARGRAF, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Public Health & General Preventive Medicine Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 4102 S REGAL ST STE 101, SPOKANE, WA, 99223, with a listed phone of (509) 535-2277. NPI 1740218445 was issued on 06/29/2006.

Important: PlainDoctor is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a malpractice database, or a quality rating.
