CHENG-HAN CHEN, M.D., PH.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Internal Medicine Physician provider holding M.D., PH.D. credentials at 24022 CALLE DE LA PLATA STE 500, LAGUNA HILLS, CA, 92653, with a listed phone of (714) 445-0220. NPI 1215181722 was issued on 11/11/2008. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what CHEN 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 2,910 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 558 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $681K in drug spend, split 21% brand-name and 79% generic by claim count. These figures capture only Medicare Part D — commercial insurance, Medicaid, and cash-pay prescriptions are not included, and any drug-beneficiary cell under 11 is suppressed by CMS for patient privacy. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 75.1385/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 56.803, Cost 71.2326), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Internal Medicine Physician is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 172,858 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 2,716 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.

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.
