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).
Chaoyuan Kuang appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Medical Oncology Physician provider at 1695 EASTCHESTER RD FL 2, Bronx, NY, 10461, with a listed phone of (718) 405-8404. NPI 1114312972 was issued on 03/30/2015.
Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 281 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 54 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1.2 million in drug spend, split 29% brand-name and 71% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 7.1%. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 100/100 for the 2023 performance year, compared with the national average of 83.1.
Medical Oncology Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 3,815 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 689 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.

- 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 Medical Oncology Physician peer on Medicare volume and prescribing patterns. Compare providers
