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).

This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry. Provider information is self-reported to CMS and updated monthly.

JOSEPH BASLER, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Urology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 8300 FLOYD CURL DR FL 4, SAN ANTONIO, TX, 78229, with a listed phone of (210) 450-9600. NPI 1801802566 was issued on 08/01/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 703 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 183 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $64K in drug spend, split 9% brand-name and 91% generic by claim count.
