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).

Samuel Henderson, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Family Medicine Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 14 RICHLAND MEDICAL PARK DR STE 320, Columbia, SC, 29203, with a listed phone of (803) 434-6771. NPI 1043745508 was issued on 04/21/2017.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 386 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 79 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $73K in drug spend, split 26% brand-name and 62% generic by claim count.

On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 97.6/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 86.5), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Family Medicine Physician is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 147,640 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 3,418 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline. 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.
