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).

MASSOUD KASHANCHI, DDS is a Prosthodontics provider practicing in COSTA MESA, California, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: DDS. NPI: 1245459379. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

MASSOUD KASHANCHI, DDS appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Prosthodontics provider holding DDS credentials at 1503 S COAST DR STE 110, COSTA MESA, CA, 92626, with a listed phone of (714) 662-4424. NPI 1245459379 was issued on 04/25/2007.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 216 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 76 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $2K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 7.9%.

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.
