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).

JONATHAN SCHULHOF, M.D. is a Glaucoma Specialist (Ophthalmology) Physician provider practicing in BROOKLYN, New York, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES).

JONATHAN SCHULHOF, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Glaucoma Specialist (Ophthalmology) Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 1987 UTICA AVE, BROOKLYN, NY, 11234, with a listed phone of (718) 968-8700. NPI 1972893915 was issued on 04/11/2011.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 6,177 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 1,378 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1.3 million in drug spend, split 51% brand-name and 49% generic by claim count.

Glaucoma Specialist (Ophthalmology) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 354 enrolled providers across 42 states and an average of 2,962 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.
