How MIPS and board certification work
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).
Ibrahim Fahsah, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Specialist provider holding MD credentials at 201 ABRAHAM FLEXNER WAY STE 903, Louisville, KY, 40202, with a listed phone of (502) 916-1055. NPI 1902846157 was issued on 06/07/2006.
Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 4,995 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 613 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $622K in drug spend, split 14% brand-name and 86% generic by claim count. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 73.2/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 58.7, Cost 51.9), compared with the national average of 83.1.
Specialist is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 69,608 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 1,474 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
