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).

JEFFREY CHOI, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Orthopaedic Surgery of the Spine Physician provider holding MD credentials at 1900 WEALTHY ST SE STE 300, GRAND RAPIDS, MI, 49506, with a listed phone of (616) 774-8345. NPI 1659878841 was issued on 04/12/2018.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 17 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 11 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $185 in drug spend. 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.
