MIPS final score (Foot & Ankle Surgery Podiatrist) — 0/100 vs national avg 83.1

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).

JOSHUA THUN, D.P.M. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Foot & Ankle Surgery Podiatrist provider holding D.P.M. credentials at 2373 G RD STE 100, GRAND JUNCTION, CO, 81505, with a listed phone of (970) 245-0484. NPI 1518380872 was issued on 01/22/2014.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 27 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 23 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $133 in drug spend.

Foot & Ankle Surgery Podiatrist is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 8,920 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 309 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.
