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).

Russell Schub, D.O. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Gastroenterology Physician provider holding D.O. credentials at 8875 CENTRE PARK DR, Columbia, MD, 21045, with a listed phone of (410) 730-1000. NPI 1679583587 was issued on 08/09/2006.

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 Gastroenterology Physician providers operate outside Part D entirely. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 83.6/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 75.2, Cost 62.6), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Gastroenterology Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 16,601 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 833 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.
