Quality, Cost, Promoting Interoperability, and Improvement Activities composite score for the 2023 performance year. Specialty: Prevention Professional. Cost dim: 24.2067.
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 POCHE, PT, ATC is a Prevention Professional provider practicing in BATON ROUGE, Louisiana, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: PT, ATC.

STEVEN POCHE, PT, ATC appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Prevention Professional provider holding PT, ATC credentials at 8080 BLUEBONNET BLVD, BATON ROUGE, LA, 70810, with a listed phone of (225) 408-7990. NPI 1497281539 was issued on 05/11/2017. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what POCHE most recently submitted to CMS rather than a vetted directory listing, which is why patients should always confirm the practice is still at this location before scheduling.
Medicare Part D prescribing data is not currently published for this NPI, which typically means the provider either wrote fewer than 11 Part D claims in the most recent reporting year, does not participate in Medicare, or practices in a specialty that rarely prescribes outpatient drugs. Absence of prescribing data is not a quality signal — many Prevention Professional providers operate outside Part D entirely. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 62.1034/100 for the 2023 performance year, compared with the national average of 83.1.
Prevention Professional is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 653 enrolled providers across 49 states and an average of 3,446 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline. 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.
