Radiation therapy dose calculation is a process to determine the exact amount of radiation needed to treat a specific area in the body. This calculation helps ensure the treatment is effective while minimizing harm to healthy tissues. It's a key part of planning your radiation therapy.
This service was performed 60 times for 18 patientsComplex radiation therapy planning is a process to determine the most effective way to deliver radiation to a specific area in your body. It involves detailed imaging to map your body's structure, allowing for precise targeting of cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue.
This service was performed 19 times for 16 patientsContinuing radiation therapy consultation per week involves regular meetings with your healthcare team. These sessions help monitor your progress, manage side effects, and adjust your treatment plan if necessary. It's a key part of ensuring the effectiveness of your radiation therapy.
This service was performed 77 times for 18 patientsCT guidance for insertion of radiation therapy fields involves using a CT scan to accurately map the area of your body where radiation will be applied. This ensures the radiation targets only the necessary area, minimizing impact to healthy tissues.
This service was performed 408 times for 67 patientsThe design and construction of a complex radiation treatment device is a process where a specialized instrument is created. This device targets harmful cells with high-energy rays to destroy or damage them, while minimizing impact on healthy cells. This aids in treating conditions like cancer.
This service was performed 56 times for 15 patientsA radiation treatment device is custom-made for each patient to target cancer cells with high precision. It's designed to focus radiation on the tumor, sparing healthy tissue. This process ensures effective therapy while minimizing side effects.
This service was performed 14 times for 11 patientsThis is a routine check-up for patients who have previously seen the doctor. During this 10-19 minute visit, the doctor will review your health status, discuss any concerns, and manage ongoing treatments or medications. It's a chance to ensure your health is on track.

This service was performed 66 times for 55 patientsIntensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a type of cancer treatment. It uses advanced technology to manipulate photon beams of radiation to conform to the shape of a tumor. IMRT allows for the radiation dose to conform more precisely to the three-dimensional shape of the tumor by modulating—or controlling—the intensity of the radiation beam. This can result in better tumor control and less harm to healthy tissue.

The provider participated in CMS Quality Payment Program under the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and has an overall final score of 97.28, based on four performance areas: quality, improvement activities, promoting interoperability, and cost. The purpose of this information is to help people with Medicare make informed decisions and incentivize doctors and clinicians to maximize performance.
The Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) is a way providers could use to participate in CMS Quality Payment Program (QPP). The MIPS program affects clinician reimbursement for Part B covered professional services and also rewards them for improving the quality of patient care and outcomes.
-
Final Score: 97.28 out of 100
The MIPS program evaluates providers across multiple categories with a specific weight for each category resulting a in a MIPS final score that ranges from 0 to 100 points. The MIPS Final Score determines whether providers receive a negative, neutral or positive MIPS payment adjustment.
-
Quality Score: 94.56
The Quality category assesses providers performance on clinical practices and patient outcomes under the traditional MIPS program. The quality measures help identify the quality of healthcare processes, outcomes, and patient experiences. The Quality measure category compromises 40% providers final MPIS scores.

NPI NPI Number Validation
How NPI Validation Works
The NPI validation process uses the ISO-standard Luhn algorithm, a mathematical "handshake", to ensure that a provider's 10-digit ID is authentic and free of common typing errors.
To verify the NPI 1063551695, we treat the final digit (5) as the Check Digit—the target answer we need to reach. The process begins by taking the first nine digits and adding a constant value of 24, which accounts for the "80840" prefix required for all U.S. health identifiers. We then double every other digit starting from the right and sum the individual digits of those results together. For this specific NPI, that total comes to 55. The final step is to find the difference between that total and the next multiple of ten (60 - 55 = 5).
Digit-by-digit view
Use the first nine digits for the calculation. Starting from the right, double every other digit. The last digit is the check digit and is not part of the calculation.
Step 1: Double every other digit from the right
Starting with the rightmost digit of the first nine digits, double every other value. If doubling creates a two-digit number, add those digits together.
Step 2: Add all digits plus the NPI constant
Add the transformed values, the unchanged digits, and the constant 24.
Step 3: Find the amount needed to reach the next multiple of 10
The next multiple of ten after 55 is 60. The difference is the calculated check digit.
