The quality record behind the contracts
Cost Plus Wellness publishes the contract, but not a way to check the provider. So we screened the published providers against the federal record: OIG and state exclusion lists, license discipline, CMS quality, and industry payments, all public data. Posting 10 to start; every one cleared the federal exclusion screen with no disciplinary actions found, and 5 are contracts Mark Cuban's own companies use.
·Every number is a federal record, with its source, period and sample size shown.
·MIPS is the CMS clinician quality score, 0 to 100; we show the group median and range.

Method
- Providers are the entities Cost Plus Wellness has published contracts for, matched to their federal identifiers by exact name and state.
- Quality: CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) final score per clinician, 0 to 100. We show the group median and range across the clinicians sampled.
- Integrity: every clinician NPI screened against the OIG federal exclusion list and state exclusion lists; license status and disciplinary history from state boards.
- Licenses: license status is checked on a sample of up to 30 clinicians per group. A count below 30 active usually reflects non-physician NPIs (therapists, physician assistants) or a license held in another state, not a disciplinary finding. Disciplinary actions are shown separately, and none were found.
- Industry payments: CMS Open Payments totals for the clinicians sampled. Open Payments is published with a lag, so the years are labeled.
- Small samples are shown as such. Absence of a finding is stated as "none found," not as proof.
