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).

YOUSUF ALLAWALA, M.D. is a Psychiatry Physician provider practicing in WALNUT CREEK, California, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D..

YOUSUF ALLAWALA, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Psychiatry Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 3100 OAK RD STE 270, WALNUT CREEK, CA, 94597, with a listed phone of (925) 357-8472. NPI 1497709810 was issued on 05/20/2006.
