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).

GEORGE POULOS, D.O. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Otology & Neurotology Physician provider holding D.O. credentials at 2929 EXPRESSWAY DR N, ISLANDIA, NY, 11749, with a listed phone of (631) 665-2430. NPI 1548469091 was issued on 07/15/2007. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what POULOS most recently submitted to CMS rather than a vetted directory listing, which is why patients should always confirm the practice is still at this location before scheduling.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 784 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 420 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $20K in drug spend, split 3% brand-name and 97% generic by claim count. These figures capture only Medicare Part D — commercial insurance, Medicaid, and cash-pay prescriptions are not included, and any drug-beneficiary cell under 11 is suppressed by CMS for patient privacy. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 91.2882/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 84.1603), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Otology & Neurotology Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 333 enrolled providers across 46 states and an average of 401 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.
