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).

Brian Shanahan, PA appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Trauma Surgery Physician provider holding PA credentials at 101 MANNING DR, Chapel Hill, NC, 27514, with a listed phone of (984) 974-1000. NPI 1508348665 was issued on 09/05/2018.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 73 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 41 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $2K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 35.6%.

Trauma Surgery Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 959 enrolled providers across 49 states and an average of 70 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline. 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.

  • Check the active license and any disciplinary history with the North Carolina medical board — federal registration is not a license check. Credential verification guide
  • Weigh a second option: compare this provider with a nearby Trauma Surgery Physician peer on Medicare volume and prescribing patterns. Compare providers

Medicare Part D and MIPS figures describe practice patterns in federal programs only — they are not quality ratings, and PlainDoctor does not rate, rank, or recommend providers.
