How MIPS and board certification work

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).

Salman Aly, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Hospitalist Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 6903 BRISBANE CT STE 100, Sugar Land, TX, 77479, with a listed phone of (832) 886-4774. NPI 1326287715 was issued on 02/10/2009.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 21,485 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 1,568 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $2.7 million in drug spend, split 16% brand-name and 83% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 2.7%. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 33.7/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 20, Cost 54.2), compared with the 83.5 average among clinicians with a measured score.

Before you book an appointment

Use this federal record as your verification checklist, not as a recommendation.

  • Confirm the NPI record is current in the official CMS registry, providers update their own NPPES details, and moves can lag. Verify this NPI
  • Check the active license and any disciplinary history with the Texas medical board, federal registration is not a license check. Credential verification guide
  • Weigh a second option: compare this provider with a nearby Hospitalist Physician peer on Medicare volume and prescribing patterns. Compare providers
