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).

SAMEH AZIZ, MD is a Sleep Medicine (Internal Medicine) Physician provider practicing in ROANOKE, Virginia, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: MD.

SAMEH AZIZ, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Sleep Medicine (Internal Medicine) Physician provider holding MD credentials at 2001 CRYSTAL SPRING AVE SW STE 300, ROANOKE, VA, 24014, with a listed phone of (540) 985-8505. NPI 1205916343 was issued on 10/16/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 1,021 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 154 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $3.4 million in drug spend, split 61% brand-name and 39% 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.
