How MIPS and board certification work
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).
Paul Koslow appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Podiatrist provider at 8911 63RD DR, Rego Park, NY, 11374, with a listed phone of (718) 639-9887. NPI 1629018627 was issued on 06/07/2006.
Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 1,769 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 405 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $857K in drug spend, split 20% brand-name and 80% generic by claim count. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 0/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 0), compared with the national average of 83.1.
Podiatrist is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 10,490 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 304 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.

Before you book an appointment

- Confirm the NPI record is current in the official CMS registry, providers update their own NPPES details, and moves can lag. Verify this NPI
- Check the active license and any disciplinary history with the New York medical board, federal registration is not a license check. Credential verification guide
- Weigh a second option: compare this provider with a nearby Podiatrist peer on Medicare volume and prescribing patterns. Compare providers
