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).

ZANETTA CHANG, MD, PHD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Internal Medicine Physician provider holding MD, PHD credentials at 1 BARNES JEWISH HOSPITAL PLZ, SAINT LOUIS, MO, 63110, with a listed phone of (314) 362-5000. NPI 1205452737 was issued on 06/20/2020.

Important: PlainDoctor is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a malpractice database, or a quality rating.
