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).

KENNETH GORSON, MD is a Neurology Physician provider practicing in WELLESLEY, Massachusetts, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: MD.

KENNETH GORSON, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Neurology Physician provider holding MD credentials at 110 CEDAR ST, WELLESLEY, MA, 02481, with a listed phone of (781) 591-8300. NPI 1275528192 was issued on 09/16/2005.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 613 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 50 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $886K in drug spend, split 14% brand-name and 86% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 8.8%.

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.
