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).

SARDAR SHAH KHAN, M.D., M.R.C.P. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Cardiovascular Disease Physician provider holding M.D., M.R.C.P. credentials at 303 S COLLEGE ST, MORGANTON, NC, 28655, with a listed phone of (828) 433-6144. NPI 1366401036 was issued on 03/21/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 4,441 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 59 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $156K in drug spend, split 6% brand-name and 94% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 11.2%.

Cardiovascular Disease Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 24,795 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 3,033 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.
