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).

ZESHAUN KHAWAJA, M.D. is a Neurology Physician provider practicing in CLEVELAND, Ohio, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D.. NPI: 1578708244.

ZESHAUN KHAWAJA, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Neurology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 9500 EUCLID AVENUE, CLEVELAND, OH, 44195, with a listed phone of (216) 217-9820.
