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).

TANVIR AHMAD, MD is a Internal Medicine Physician provider practicing in PLANO, Texas, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: MD. NPI: 1649280777. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry. Provider information is self-reported to CMS and updated monthly.

TANVIR AHMAD, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Internal Medicine Physician provider holding MD credentials at 2501 ELK TRL, PLANO, TX, 75025, with a listed phone of (509) 594-6119. NPI 1649280777 was issued on 08/09/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 2,952 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 516 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $372K in drug spend, split 13% brand-name and 87% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 1.5%.

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.
