GITONGA MUNENE, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Surgical Oncology Physician provider holding MD credentials at 200 N PARK ST, KALAMAZOO, MI, 49007, with a listed phone of (269) 382-2500. NPI 1164663829 was issued on 03/10/2009. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what MUNENE 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 150 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 52 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $158K in drug spend, split 47% brand-name and 53% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 16.7%. 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 85.4717/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 93.15, Cost 58.4224), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Surgical Oncology Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,410 enrolled providers across 50 states and an average of 97 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline. Important: PlainDoctor is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a malpractice database, or a quality rating. 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.
