- MIPS Final Score

- vs 83.1 national avg · 2023 performance year
MIPS final score (Medical Oncology Physician) - 85.8/100 vs national avg 83.1
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).
Li Ge, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Medical Oncology Physician provider holding MD credentials at 6121 N THESTA ST STE 204, Fresno, CA, 93710, with a listed phone of (559) 438-7390. NPI 1194709188 was issued on 12/02/2005. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what Ge 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 741 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 225 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $655K in drug spend, split 11% brand-name and 89% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 1.6%. 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 85.8/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 91.3, Cost 61.3), compared with the national average of 83.1.
Medical Oncology Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 3,792 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 689 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.

- Confirm the NPI record is current in the official CMS registry, providers update their own NPPES details, and moves can lag. Verify this NPI
- Check the active license and any disciplinary history with the California medical board, federal registration is not a license check. Credential verification guide
- Weigh a second option: compare this provider with a nearby Medical Oncology Physician peer on Medicare volume and prescribing patterns. Compare providers
