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.

Miriam Baltuano Songhurst, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Neurology with Special Qualifications in Child Neurology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 2401 GILLHAM RD, Kansas City, MO, 64108, with a listed phone of (816) 234-3000. NPI 1467802108 was issued on 06/14/2016. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what Baltuano Songhurst 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 prescribing data is not currently published for this NPI, which typically means the provider either wrote fewer than 11 Part D claims in the most recent reporting year, does not participate in Medicare, or practices in a specialty that rarely prescribes outpatient drugs. Absence of prescribing data is not a quality signal, many Neurology with Special Qualifications in Child Neurology Physician providers operate outside Part D entirely. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 71.7/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 53.5, Cost 52.1), compared with the national average of 83.1.
Neurology with Special Qualifications in Child Neurology Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,803 enrolled providers across 51 states and an average of 359 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.
