2024 MIPS Quality Measures

All 2024 CMS MIPS registry and EHR quality measures can be reported with MDinteractive.  Please check 2024 Clinical Quality Measure (CQM) Release Notes to see changes to existing measures made since the release of the 2023 MIPS Measure Specifications. 

Choose 6 measures, including one Outcome or other High Priority measure, and include 100% of denominator eligible encounters*, for the entire year, regardless of insurance. 

*Eligible encounters are those, where the claim generated for the date of service, matches the denominator criteria as outlined in the documentation for the measure.  Data completeness=reporting answers for at least 75% of eligible encounters.

How to enter your Quality Data - choose the option that is best for you.  Tip: Different methods can be used for different measures. For example, you might use an Excel Template for 1 measure and Create Patient Record for another. Or... a QRDA III file for the measures within your EHR, and one of the other 2 options for the other measures.

  1. Create Patient Record - manually enter quality data a patient at a time to build your reports.
  2. Use our Excel Templates and upload data to our Data Grid where it will be compiled.  
  3. Upload QRDA III files directly to the secure file storage area of your account - this method requires that you have a certified EHR. Our file processing team will process your QRDA III files and email you with results.

Tips for choosing MIPS quality measures

  • Start by reviewing the suggestions by specialty available on our website.  Note that CMS has identified “Specialty Measures Sets” for the majority of specialties.
  • You can access our MIPS planning tool within our software by logging into your account, setting up your dashboard with NPI/TIN and clicking on Add/Edit MIPS Plans. After you indicate the categories you will be reporting and clicking “Next”, you will be able to choose from a list of applicable measures or use the filters to narrow down your choices. Note that only measures where you have claims history matching the criteria will appear in this list.  Please contact MDinteractive if you don’t see a measure available on your list.
  • Consider the following factors when deciding which measures to select for MIPS reporting:
    • Clinical conditions usually treated;
    • Types of care typically provided (e.g., preventive, chronic, acute);
    • Settings where care is usually delivered (e.g., office, emergency department [ED], surgical suite);
    • Quality improvement goals;
    • Other quality reporting programs in use or being considered;
    • Only choosing/reporting measures where you have eligible encounters, meaning encounters where the coding on the claims matches the denominator criteria for the measure. 
  • At least 1 of the measures you choose (out of a total of 6) must be designated as either Outcome, or if no applicable Outcome, another High Priority measure.  If a measure with either of these designations is not included in your reporting, CMS will only score 5 out of your 6 measures. The following is an explanation of the measure “types”:
    • Process - Process measures show what doctors and other clinicians do to maintain or improve health, either for healthy people or those diagnosed with a given condition or disease.  These measures usually reflect generally accepted recommendations for clinical practice.  Process measures can tell consumers about medical care they should receive for a given condition or disease, and can help improve health outcomes.
    • Outcome - Outcome measures show how a health care service or intervention influences the health status of patients. Examples: The % of patients who died because of surgery or the rate of surgical complications or hospital acquired infections.  Outcome measures are the result of many factors, some of which may be out of a clinician's control. An Outcome Measure is also classified as High Priority.  CMS asks for an Outcome Measure to be reported as part of the 6 total measures (if one is applicable).
    • High Priority - High priority measures include the following categories of measures:  Outcome, Appropriate Use, Patient Experience, Patient Safety, Efficiency measures, Care coordination. If an Outcome measure (see above) is not applicable, a measure designated as just “high priority” will suffice. 
  • Because you will need to meet completeness requirements for a measure (All insurances, Medicare and non-Medicare) you could choose to select measure(s) with a more defined demographic (meaning that the denominator criteria is limited by ICD-10, age, gender, etc. vs. all eligible patient visits) in order to create a manageable size report.  Note though that measures must be complete and contain at least 20 denominator eligible cases in order to be scored against national benchmarks.
  • Choosing to report Quality measures as a group might be a more efficient way to report.  Here is an example of how this would work:
    • Multi-specialty practice: Let's imagine a practice with one anesthesiologist, one pathologist, one hospitalist, one internist, one dermatologist and one cardiologist. If the providers report MIPS at the individual level, one potentially would need to manage and optimize the performance of 36 different quality measures (6 measures per provider). A group would be able to choose 6 measures that would “cover” the entire practice.   For example, the measure selection could include 2 anesthesia measures, 2 pathology measures and 2 hospitalist measures. There is no need to choose measures that cover all specialties. One just needs to report the patients/visits eligible for the chosen measures.
  • It can be easier to report more specific measures that apply to smaller patient populations. For example, dermatologists could report melanoma measure #137. However, one needs to report a minimum of 20 patients in order to get a score.
  • Consider the reporting frequency of measures such as measure #226 (Tobacco Use: Screening and Cessation Intervention) that only need to be reported once per patient per year versus measures like measure #130 (Documentation of Current Medications in the Medical Record) that need to be reported on each eligible visit. For example, Measure #226 only needs to be reported once on a patient seen for a total of 7 eligible encounters. Measure #130 will need to be reported 7 times in this example.

Understanding Benchmarks*/Scoring when Choosing Your Quality Measures:

  • Be aware of measures which already have high compliance. Medicare calls these "topped-out" measures.
  • Take into consideration that some measures do not currently have benchmarks. As a result, these measures will initially not be scored - even if reported completely. 
  • You should review the MIPS quality measures benchmarks and which measures have no benchmarks or are topped-out.

2024 MIPS Measure #243: Cardiac Rehabilitation Patient Referral from an Outpatient Setting

Percentage of patients evaluated in an outpatient setting who within the previous 12 months have experienced an acute myocardial infarction (MI), coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), cardiac valve surgery, or cardiac transplantation, or who have chronic stable angina (CSA) and have not already participated in an early outpatient cardiac rehabilitation/secondary prevention (CR) program for the qualifying event/diagnosis who were referred to a CR program.

Definition:

Referral - A “referral” is defined as an official communication between the health care provider and the patient to recommend and carry out a referral order to an outpatient CR program. This includes the provision of all necessary information to the patient that will allow the patient to enroll in an outpatient CR program. This also includes a written or electronic communication between the healthcare provider or healthcare system and the cardiac rehabilitation program that includes the patient's enrollment information for the program. A hospital discharge summary or office note may potentially be formatted to include the necessary patient information to communicate to the CR program (the patient’s cardiovascular history, testing, and treatments, for instance). According to standards of practice for cardiac rehabilitation programs, care coordination communications are sent to the referring provider, including any issues regarding treatment changes, adverse treatment responses, or new non-emergency condition (new symptoms, patient care questions, etc.) that need attention by the referring provider. These communications also include a progress report once the patient has completed the program. All communications must maintain an appropriate level of confidentiality as outlined by the 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

NOTE: A patient with a qualifying diagnosis should have a referral to CR within the subsequent 12 months. In the event that the patient has a second (recurrent) qualifying event before the original 12 month “referral” period has ended, a new 12 month “referral” period for CR referral starts at the time of the second qualifying event, since the patient again becomes eligible for CR at that time.
