CMS recently announced it is changing the name of the MIPS Advancing Care Information category to the Promoting Interoperability category.  While the name is different, the requirements for reporting this MIPS category are the same.

Not sure if you are required to participate in MIPS for 2018? There are no changes in the "types" of clinicians eligible to participate this year.  However, the Low-Volume Threshold was revised to include clinicians who bill more than $90,000 annually in Medicare Part B allowed charges AND provide care to more than 200 Medicare patients.  CMS offers providers an easy way to check their individual and group level participation status online.
