Board certification through an ABMS or AOA member board signals voluntary post-licensure examination plus Maintenance of Certification cycles. CMS does not publish a per-provider board-certification field; the figure shown is the specialty-level estimated rate from ABMS / AOA reference data.
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).
MARC ELKOWITZ, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Surgery of the Hand (Plastic Surgery) Physician provider holding MD credentials at 107 NORTHERN BLVD SUITE 203, GREAT NECK, NY, 11021, with a listed phone of (516) 773-9200. NPI 1952478729 was issued on 11/29/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 76 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 28 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $686 in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 35.5%. These figures capture only Medicare Part D — commercial insurance, Medicaid, and cash-pay prescriptions are not included, and any drug-beneficiary cell under 11 is suppressed by CMS for patient privacy.
Surgery of the Hand (Plastic Surgery) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 370 enrolled providers across 43 states and an average of 106 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.
