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).

SCHIELD WIKAS, D.O. is a Procedural Dermatology Physician provider practicing in CANTON, Ohio, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: D.O.. NPI: 1174544068. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

SCHIELD WIKAS, D.O. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Procedural Dermatology Physician provider holding D.O. credentials at 4240 MUNSON ST NW STE C, CANTON, OH, 44718, with a listed phone of (330) 492-2327. NPI 1174544068 was issued on 07/23/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what WIKAS 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 1,587 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 519 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $412K in drug spend, split 6% brand-name and 94% generic by claim count.

Procedural Dermatology Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 679 enrolled providers across 48 states and an average of 664 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.
