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).

SAIRA BABAR, M.D. is a Family Medicine Physician provider practicing in JEFFERSON CITY, Missouri, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D.. NPI: 1306822317. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

SAIRA BABAR, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Family Medicine Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 1241 W STADIUM BLVD, JEFFERSON CITY, MO, 65109, with a listed phone of (573) 635-5264. NPI 1306822317 was issued on 12/21/2005.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 15,686 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 864 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1.2 million in drug spend, split 10% brand-name and 90% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 1.6%.

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.
