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).

RONALD CHEZ, MD is a Maternal & Fetal Medicine Physician provider practicing in ORANGE, California, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: MD. NPI: 1457683195. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

RONALD CHEZ, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Maternal & Fetal Medicine Physician provider holding MD credentials at 6150 E WEST VIEW DR, ORANGE, CA, 92869, with a listed phone of (714) 628-9464. NPI 1457683195 was issued on 02/05/2010.

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.
