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).

WILLIAM CHEN, DO appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Family Medicine Physician provider holding DO credentials at 1001 W BROADWAY STE D&E, FARMINGTON, NM, 87401, with a listed phone of (505) 327-4796. NPI 1720575871 was issued on 04/15/2018.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 588 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 137 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $109K in drug spend, split 28% brand-name and 72% generic by claim count.

On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 55.6538/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 67.5171, Cost 51.3288), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Family Medicine Physician is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 147,640 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 3,418 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.
