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).

GREGORY BASURA, M.D., PH.D. is a Otology & Neurotology Physician provider practicing in PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D., PH.D.. NPI: 1962622860. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

GREGORY BASURA, M.D., PH.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Otology & Neurotology Physician provider holding M.D., PH.D. credentials at 203 LOTHROP ST STE 300, PITTSBURGH, PA, 15213, with a listed phone of (734) 277-6169. NPI 1962622860 was issued on 04/26/2007.
