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).

ZACH APPLEBERG is a Physician Assistant provider practicing in ALLEN PARK, Michigan, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). NPI: 1881316487.

ZACH APPLEBERG appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Physician Assistant provider at 14825 SOUTHFIELD RD, ALLEN PARK, MI, 48101, with a listed phone of (313) 383-7071. NPI 1881316487 was issued on 09/12/2022.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 6,815 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 668 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $863K in drug spend, split 15% brand-name and 85% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 0.8%.

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.
