STEPS TO REPORT MIPS

Step 1 - Create an Account (or log in to an existing MDinteractive account)

CREATE ACCOUNT NOW

Step 2 -  Set-up your Dashboard and Add MIPS Plans

Enter your TIN if reporting as a group or your NPI/TIN if reporting as an individual. Then, create your MIPS plan by selecting:

  • Your reporting program, such as Traditional MIPS or a MIPS Value Pathway (MVP);
  • The MIPS categories you will report through MDinteractive, including Quality, Promoting Interoperability, and/or Improvement Activities; and
  • The quality measures you plan to report.

Note that Promoting Interoperability (PI) requires certified electronic health record technology (CEHRT). The PI category will be automatically reweighted to 0% for small practices (15 or fewer clinicians) and certain other clinicians and groups with a qualifying special status, unless they choose to report it.

Step 3 - Submit Payment

Once your MIPS plan is complete, purchase it online through your MDinteractive account using a credit card or request an invoice.

Step 4 - Enter Data

Log-in to your MDinteractive account and follow the steps in the software to report/attest to your data within your chosen categories.

Quality:  

Traditional MIPS: For the entire year, report 6 measures, including one Outcome measure (or another high priority measure if an Outcome measure is not applicable), for all denominator-eligible Medicare and non-Medicare patient visits.  Include 100% of eligible encounters, for each measure, and provide documented answers (numerator options) for at least 75% of those encounters.

Or...

MIPS Value Pathways (MVPs): For the entire year, report 4 quality measures included in your selected MVP, including one Outcome measure (or another high-priority measure if an Outcome measure is not available or applicable). Include 100% of eligible encounters, for each measure, and provide documented answers (numerator options) for at least 75% of those encounters.

Important: You must register with CMS for the specific MVP you plan to report before the applicable registration deadline.

Please note that in order for a measure to be scored against national benchmarks, the report must meet the data completeness criteria (include 100% of eligible encounters and at least 75% of eligible data includes the numerator option).  CMS will also only score measures against national benchmarks if they have at least 20 records in them and meet data completeness.

How to Enter Your Quality Data - Choose the Option That Works best for You  

Tip: You can use different submission methods for different measures. For example, you may use an Excel Template for one measure and Create Patient Record for another. You may also upload a QRDA III file for measures available through your EHR and use one of the other options for the remaining measures.

  1. Create Patient Record - Manually enter quality data one patient at a time to build your reports.
  2. Upload an MDinteractive Excel Template - Enter your quality data using our template and upload it to the Data Grid, where it will be compiled into your reports.
  3. Upload QRDA III Files - Upload files generated by your certified EHR directly to the secure file storage area of your account. Our file processing team will process the files and email you with the results.

Promoting Interoperability: 

For both Traditional MIPS and MVP reporting, submit the required Promoting Interoperability measures and attestations for a minimum of 180 consecutive days. Certified electronic health record technology (CEHRT) is required.

The Promoting Interoperability category is automatically reweighted for certain clinicians and groups, including those with qualifying special statuses. Some participants may also qualify for reweighting through a hardship exception.

Improvement Activities:  

Traditional MIPS: For a minimum of 90 continuous days, attest that you completed two activities (small practices and clinicians with certain special statuses need to complete one activity).

MVP Reporting: For a minimum of 90 continuous days, attest that you completed one improvement activity included in your selected MVP, regardless of special status.

Cost:  

No action required. CMS calculates your performance using Medicare administrative claims data. For MVP reporting, CMS calculates performance using only the cost measures included in your selected MVP.
