How MIPS and board certification work
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).
Steven Colon appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Registered Nurse provider at 221 E 106TH ST APT 18E, New York, NY, 10029, with a listed phone of (917) 755-7528. NPI 1568085355 was issued on 05/27/2020.
Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 667 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 43 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $58K in drug spend, split 9% brand-name and 91% generic by claim count. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 33.3/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 8.5, Cost 60.7), compared with the 83.5 average among clinicians with a measured score.
Registered Nurse is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 177,204 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 1,000 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.

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.

- Confirm the NPI record is current in the official CMS registry, providers update their own NPPES details, and moves can lag. Verify this NPI
- Check the active license and any disciplinary history with the New York medical board, federal registration is not a license check. Credential verification guide
- Weigh a second option: compare this provider with a nearby Registered Nurse peer on Medicare volume and prescribing patterns. Compare providers
