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).

ELIAS SKAF, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Interventional Cardiology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 1222 10TH AVE, PORT HURON, MI, 48060, with a listed phone of (810) 985-9681. NPI 1235332917 was issued on 06/08/2007.

Important: PlainDoctor is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a malpractice database, or a quality rating.
