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).

STEVEN BOAS, M.D. is a Specialist provider practicing in NORTHFIELD, Illinois, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D.. NPI: 1144227737.

STEVEN BOAS, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Specialist provider holding M.D. credentials at 191 WAUKEGAN RD STE 200, NORTHFIELD, IL, 60093, with a listed phone of (847) 998-3434. NPI 1144227737 was issued on 06/28/2005.
