How does automatic reweighting of the Promoting Interoperability performance category apply to groups?

MIPS clinicians who are part of a group practice and have assigned their billing rights to the group’s TIN will be assessed as part of the group, and will not have their Promoting Interoperability score re-weighted to zero.

Groups have the option to include or not include data from the following MIPS clinicians that qualify for an automatic re-weighting:

• Hospital-based MIPS clinicians
• Clinical Nurse Specialists
• Physician Assistants
• Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists
• Nurse Practitioners
