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).

VASIF KALFA, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Allergy & Immunology Physician provider holding MD credentials at 8630 FENTON ST STE 522, SILVER SPRING, MD, 20910, with a listed phone of (240) 531-2902. NPI 1376567735 was issued on 07/27/2006.
