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).

AHMED HAWASH, MD, PHD is a Procedural Dermatology Physician provider practicing in ALTAMONT, New York, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: MD, PHD. NPI: 1003376658. 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.

AHMED HAWASH, MD, PHD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Procedural Dermatology Physician provider holding MD, PHD credentials at 2508 WESTERN AVE, ALTAMONT, NY, 12009, with a listed phone of (212) 283-3000. NPI 1003376658 was issued on 03/20/2019.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 25 prescription claims written by this provider, covering N/A Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $108K in drug spend, split 60% brand-name and 40% generic by claim count.

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.
