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).

SUFYAN MALIK, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Hospitalist Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 145 E CARROLL ST # 101102, SALISBURY, MD, 21801, with a listed phone of (410) 912-5785. NPI 1356703573 was issued on 03/26/2016.

Important: PlainDoctor is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a malpractice database, or a quality rating.
