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).

SAIMAH TALUKDER, MD is a Obstetrics Physician provider practicing in SHREVEPORT, Louisiana, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: MD. NPI: 1831350016. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

SAIMAH TALUKDER, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Obstetrics Physician provider holding MD credentials at 1801 FAIRFIELD AVE, SHREVEPORT, LA, 71101, with a listed phone of (318) 681-7728. NPI 1831350016 was issued on 06/20/2008.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 98 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 25 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $5K in drug spend, split 20% brand-name and 80% generic by claim count.

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.
