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).

Landon Ehlers, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Neurological Surgery Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 8005 FARNAM DR STE 305, Omaha, NE, 68114, with a listed phone of (402) 390-4111. NPI 1588045967 was issued on 06/11/2015. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what Ehlers most recently submitted to CMS rather than a vetted directory listing, which is why patients should always confirm the practice is still at this location before scheduling.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 30 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 17 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $2K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 50.0%.

On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 95.3/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 76.6), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Neurological Surgery Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 8,100 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 181 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.

  • Check the active license and any disciplinary history with the Nebraska medical board, federal registration is not a license check. Credential verification guide
  • Weigh a second option: compare this provider with a nearby Neurological Surgery Physician peer on Medicare volume and prescribing patterns. Compare providers
