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).

CHRIS CIANCI, D.O. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Interventional Cardiology Physician provider holding D.O. credentials at 3315 UNICORN LAKE BLVD STE 171, DENTON, TX, 76210, with a listed phone of (940) 320-2188. NPI 1730496720 was issued on 09/12/2010.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 8,247 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 1,206 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1.1 million in drug spend, split 11% brand-name and 89% generic by claim count.
