Specialty board-certified rate — Diagnostic Radiology Physician estimate
Board certification through an ABMS or AOA member board signals voluntary post-licensure examination plus Maintenance of Certification cycles. CMS does not publish a per-provider board-certification field; the figure shown is the specialty-level estimated rate from ABMS / AOA reference data.
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).
JOHN BRETZMAN, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Diagnostic Radiology Physician provider holding MD credentials at 300 N 7TH ST, BISMARCK, ND, 58501, with a listed phone of (701) 323-6000. NPI 1083242564 was issued on 03/30/2020.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 418 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 49 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $53K in drug spend.

Important: PlainDoctor is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a malpractice database, or a quality rating.
