Original data research from the PlainDoctor editorial team. Every page derives at least one statistic from our own database, cites primary sources inline, and documents its methodology and limits. According to the federal National Provider Identifier Registry (CMS NPPES), PlainDoctor compiles more than 7 million U.S. healthcare-provider records, a registry maintained since May 2007, adding Medicare Part D prescribing from 2023 and CMS MIPS quality scores from 2024 where reported, which you can search and compare; our methodology documents every federal source.
