MIPS Lookup

Hey everybody, we've got some more MIPS stuff for you because MIPS is the Thing That Won't Go Away.

But before we move on to the new elibility lookup tool, let's review briefly how MIPS works:

MIPS is designed to combine existing reporting programs and to incentivize better care by qualified clinicians. The list of qualified clinicians is as follows:

Physicians (includes MD/DO and DMD/DDS)
Physician Assistants (PAs)
Nurse Practitioners (NPs)
Clinical Nurse Specialists
Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists

CMS has provided a handy-dandy interactive tool that will help you determine whether or not  you are eligible to participate in MIPS this year. You can follow the link below to access the tool:

MIPS Eligibility Tool

Once on the main screen, just enter the NPI number for you or your organization and click on the blue     Check Now      button:

The next screen will display results for clinicians as an individual and as a group member; you will now know if you or your practice is eligible or exempt from MIPS.



That's it for now and we'll see you at the next MIPS episode!
